Czech automaker SKODA has raised the prices of the SLAVIA in India by up to Rs. 40,000. It is the second price revision for the sedan since its launch in February this year.

Context
Why does this story matter?
Almost every automaker in India is raising the prices of its offerings to counter the rising input costs and the effects of the global semiconductor shortage. SKODA is no exception to this. The Czech automaker had previously implemented a price hike of up to Rs. 60,000 in the month of June. With the newest revision, the sales of the sedan will probably be impacted.
