BMW Group India has announced a price increase of up to 2 percent across its vehicle portfolio, effective April 1, as it seeks to mitigate rising input and logistics costs alongside currency depreciation. The adjustment will apply to both BMW and MINI models, reflecting broader pressures faced by the luxury automotive segment. Despite strong demand and a robust product lineup, the company is aligning pricing with macroeconomic realities.
