Tata Motors has announced the revision of the ex-showroom prices of its entire range by 1.8 per cent depending on the model and variant. The new prices will be effective from 8 May, 2021. The customers who have booked vehicles on and before 7 May will be offered price protection and billed as per old prices. The model-wise new prices will be disclosed by the company soon.

In the last few weeks, several carmakers have increased the prices of their models owing to an increased cost of production. Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Toyota, Ford, BMW, MG, and Volvo have all made an upward amendment in the ex-showroom prices.
