 "Toyota to increase car prices by up to 4% from Jan over manufacturing cost")
Automobile manufacturer Toyota Kirloskar Motor on Tuesday said it will increase prices by up to four per cent effective January 1.
According to the company, the decision to hike prices was taken amid rising manufacturing costs, which is also a general industry phenomenon.
