Mercedes-Benz India has announced an upward revision of the price of its models effective from 1 September.
The quantum of price increase would be up to 2.5%, varying across model range. Mercedes said that rising input costs coupled with other factors like continued high exchange rate [weak rupee] has been impacting the bottom-line, making a price revision “inevitable”.
