BMW India To Increase Prices Of All Cars And SUVs From 1st Nov 2020

BMW India has declared that it will increase the prices of all its cars it offers in the country

BMW India has announced that all its products in India are set to become more expensive from next month. According to Vikram Pawah, President, BMW Group India, due to a rise in manufacturing cost and depreciation in currency, the company has decided to increase prices of all BMW offerings in India by up to 3 percent from November 1, 2020.

He further added that the company will continue to provide “comprehensive solutions and customer-centric offers” through BMW India Financial Services and other distinguished services across the dealer network to its consumers. This is the first time since the automotive industry made the transition to BS6 emission norms that BMW has incremented prices on all its products.
