Context
Why does this story matter?
Jeep had entered the Indian market with the Compass. It was appreciated for its off-road abilities by critics and customers alike. The US automaker has increased the prices of all the variants of the four-wheeler by Rs. 35,000, except the Sport 2.0 diesel which gets costlier by Rs. 25,000, to counter the rising input costs. This move might dent the sales of the SUV.
