What's the story
Renault India has announced that it will increase the prices of all its cars by up to Rs. 28,000 with effect from January 1, 2021. The company stated that the revision in prices is due to the increasing input costs, including the costs for steel, aluminium, plastics, and other affiliated costs that have seen an uptick during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here are more details.
