Mercedes-Benz India to revise prices by up to 2% amid sustained forex and cost pressures

Mercedes-Benz India will increase ex-showroom prices by up to 2% across its full product portfolio starting January 1, 2026. The company attributed the move to sustained Euro-INR volatility, with the Euro trading consistently above ₹100 through 2025, along with rising input costs, commodity inflation and logistical expenses.

Mercedes-Benz said these factors have placed significant pressure on its operations, necessitating a selective price adjustment for sustainable business performance. The company noted that it continues to absorb most cost escalations, passing only nominal increases to the market. Future quarterly price corrections are under consideration depending on currency trends.

CEO Santosh Iyer said prolonged forex headwinds have affected both CKD component imports and CBU vehicle sourcing. He added that repo rate reductions by the Reserve Bank of India have helped MBFS pass on financial benefits to customers.

Mercedes-Benz Financial Services, responsible for nearly half of the brand’s financed sales in India, will continue offering customised solutions designed to minimise EMI impact and enhance ownership affordability.
