What happened
A crisis in West Asia is driving up input costs for passenger vehicle manufacturers, including those producing the Mahindra Bolero and Hyundai models. Manufacturers have been partially passing on these cost increases to buyers through price hikes. Individual carmakers have implemented these increases, but cumulative price rises remained below 5% to date.
