Context
Why does this story matter?
Citroen C5 Aircross was launched in India in April last year and had received its first price-revision in November. This time, the French automaker has hiked the cost of the SUV by nearly Rs. 1 lakh. However, almost all car manufacturers have announced a price-hike on their vehicles in India. The reason is believed to be rising input costs and a disturbed supply chain.
