Most two-wheeler manufacturers have increased prices multiple times this year due to rising input costs
India’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer, Hero MotoCorp has increased prices of its scooters and motorcycles at least three times this year. These were mostly due to increasing commodity prices.
While manufacturers try to absorb much of the increased production cost, there comes a time when some of it has to be passed on to customers. In the latest round of price hike, Hero has increased prices by around Rs 3k. The new prices have been applicable from September 20th.
