Why does this story matter?
Force Gurkha is a lifestyle off-roader and this is its first price-revision since it went on sale in September 2021. Force Motors is the latest to join the list of automakers that raised the prices of their cars in India. Rising input costs must have prompted the move. However, the demand for the four-wheeler could decrease as customers might choose to wait for discounts.
