Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd on Friday said it will hike prices of its internal combustion engine (ICE) passenger vehicles from April 1, 2026, citing rising input costs.

The company sells a range of ICE vehicles from the hatchback Tiago to the Safari SUV priced between Rs 4.57 lakh and Rs 23.42 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
