Tata Motors to hike all passenger vehicle prices; shares rally over 2.7%

The automaker on Monday said that it will hike prices of all commercial vehicles by up to 2%, starting April 1, 2025. “The price increase is to offset the rise in input costs and will vary as per individual model and variant,” the auto major said in an exchange filing on Monday.

Tata Motors posted a 22% year-on-year (YoY) decline in its consolidated net profit to ₹5,451 crore due to weaker margins and muted Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) volumes.

The automaker’s revenue from operations for the reporting quarter increased marginally to ₹113,575, up 2.7% as against ₹109,799 crore reported in the previous fiscal.
