Honda Cars India is set to implement the price from April 1, 2026. While the company has not officially revealed the extent of the increase or the specific models that will be affected, sources indicate that pricing revisions are planned for some models. Price hikes around the start of a new financial year are common in the automotive industry, usually due to rising input costs, inflationary pressures and adjustments in operating expenses.
Honda India Current Lineup
Honda currently sells a limited but focused portfolio in India, which includes models like the Amaze, City and Elevate. The company is maintaining stable sales volumes with these offerings, while also preparing to expand its portfolio with upcoming electrified products. The price revision is expected to impact some offerings, although the exact details will become clear once the official announcement is made.
Part of an industry-wide trend
Honda’s planned price hike is in line with a broader trend seen in the auto industry, where manufacturers typically revise prices at the start of a new fiscal year. Several automakers are expected to announce similar increases in the coming weeks. Customers planning to buy a Honda vehicle may benefit from booking before the end of March 2026 to avoid the upcoming price hike.
Road test of Honda electric SUV started
In a related development, Honda Cars India has also recently started road testing of its upcoming electric SUV for the Indian market. The testing program was flagged off from the company’s Tapukara facility in Rajasthan and is an important step in Honda’s EV strategy for India.
Based on the Honda 0 Series platform, the new electric SUV is being tested in various real-world conditions including highways, city traffic and extreme climates to evaluate performance, durability and efficiency. The model is expected to be manufactured in India for both domestic and export markets with a launch timeline around FY 2026-27.
