Tata Motors to Increase Prices of Commercial Vehicles Starting July

Tata Motors has announced a price increase of up to 2 per cent for its commercial vehicles effective from next month, the company informed the exchange in a filing on Wednesday.
"Tata Motors Limited will increase the price of its commercial vehicles from July 1, 2024," the company said in an official statement.
The automaker said that the price adjustment was necessitated to counterbalance the effects of rising commodity prices.
The new pricing will be implemented across the entire commercial vehicle range, with variations depending on the specific model and variant.
