BMW India to Raise Car Prices by Up to 2% from April 1, 2026

BMW Group India is to raise prices across its BMW and MINI range by up to 2% from April 1, 2026. As per the news reports, the increase will apply to both locally manufactured vehicles and completely built-up units sold in the country. 

The revision comes at the start of the new financial year and follows similar pricing actions by other luxury carmakers. 

Cost Pressures Behind the Move 

The company cited higher logistics expenses and rising material costs as key reasons for the increase. In addition, the depreciation of the Indian rupee has raised the cost of imports and components. 

These factors have affected overall production and supply chain costs, prompting manufacturers to pass on part of the impact to buyers. 

Models Covered Under the Increase 

The revision will cover locally assembled models such as the 2 Series Gran Coupe, 3 Series Long Wheelbase, 5 Series Long Wheelbase, X1, X3, X5 and X7. 

Imported models, including electric vehicles like the i7 and i5, as well as performance cars such as the M4 Competition and M8 Competition Coupe, will also see price adjustments. 

Similar Moves by Competitors 

Mercedes-Benz India and Audi India have also announced price increases of up to 2% across their portfolios from April 1, 2026. Mercedes-Benz attributed its revision to foreign exchange movements, particularly the rupee’s weakness against the euro, along with higher input costs. 

Jaguar Land Rover and Volvo Car India have not announced comparable price changes so far. 

Sales Performance in 2025 

BMW Group India reported its highest annual sales in 2025, delivering 18,001 vehicles. This represents a 14% year-on-year increase, exceeding the growth rate of the overall luxury car segment in India. 

The company continues to offer financing options through BMW India Financial Services, including instalment plans and buy-back schemes.
