Renault India to hike prices of entire model range by up to 2% from April

Automaker Renault India on Thursday said it will increase prices of its entire model range by up to 2 per cent from April. The extent of the increase will vary for different variants and models, the company said in a statement. The decision comes in response to the constantly increasing input costs that the company has been absorbing for a significant period, it added. "Despite our best efforts to maintain prices for a long time, the sustained increase in input costs has necessitated this price adjustment," Renault India Country CEO and MD Venkatram Mamillapalle said. The company has been absorbing these costs for a long time to support customers, but to continue providing the best quality and innovative products, a price revision has become inevitable, he added. This is the first price hike announced by Renault India since Feb 2023, the automaker noted. Various carmakers, including Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata Motors, Kia India and Honda Cars, have already announced plans to hik

Automobile retail sales drop 7% in February amid slowing demand: Fada

Automobile retail sales across categories, including passenger vehicles and two-wheelers, witnessed a drop of 7 per cent in February amid declining demand, dealers' body FADA said on Thursday. Overall retail sales in the domestic market stood at 18,99,196 units last month, registering a dip of 7 per cent compared to 20,46,328 units in the year-ago period. "February witnessed a broad-based downturn across all categories," Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) President C S Vigneshwar said in a statement. During the month, dealers began expressing concerns about inventory being pushed to them without their consent, he added. "While such initiatives may serve broader business objectives, it is critical to align wholesale allocations with genuine demand to protect dealer viability and ensure healthy inventory management," Vigneshwar stated. Passenger vehicle retail sales declined 10 per cent year-on-year to 3,03,398 units in February. "Dealers noted weak market sentim
