Why does this story matter?
Rising input costs and global supply-chain issues have forced many automakers in India to raise the prices of their cars. Honda joins a long list of carmakers that also include Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, and BMW, among others. The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and its consequences will make it even harder for automakers. It goes without saying that this will dissuade customers from buying new cars.
