India’s biggest bus and truck maker, Tata Motors, on Wednesday reportedly said it would raise car prices by 2-3% in April on account of higher costs of inputs like steel, and new emission rules.


“There is a whole host of factors responsible for the price increase, chief among them steel costs and the new emission norms,” Rajiv Dube, vice president for passenger vehicles, told Reuters.


A spokesman for Tata’s commercial vehicles division reportedly said there was no decision yet on raising prices.


A number of other Indian car and motorcycle makers have announced price increases this week, mostly citing rising steel prices.
