Price hike alert! Hero MotoCorp bikes, scooters to get costlier by this much starting July

This would be the third price hike this year by Hero MotoCorp citing higher input costs. The manufacturer first announced an upward price revision of up to Rs 1,500 in January followed by an up to Rs 2,500 price hike in the month of April. 

India’s leading two-wheeler manufacturer Hero MotoCorp has announced another price revision for its products.
The company recently communicated through a press release that it will be making an upward revision in the ex-showroom prices of its bikes and scooters starting 1st July, 2021, which is next month. Hero MotoCorp says that the said price hike has been necessitated to partially offset the impact of a continuous increase in commodity prices. At the same time, the brand also states that it continues to drive cost savings programs aggressively in order to minimize the impact of the price hike on the customers. In order to be precise, Hero MotoCorp will hike the prices of its motorcycles and scooters by up to Rs 3,000 from July onwards. The exact figure will depend on the basis of the model and the specific market.
