JLR-parent Tata Motors announced Tuesday that it will increase the prices of its commercial vehicles, effective 1 October.

India’s largest manufacturer of utility vehicles, trucks and buses told the bourses that “the effective price hike, in the range of 2%, will be implemented basis the model and the variant of the vehicle.”

The announcement nudged Tata Motor’s shares, which finished 0.86% higher at INR301.60 ($4.09) on the National Stock Exchange, valuing the nation’s largest original equipment manufacturer (OEM) at around INR1.08trn.

“The continued rise in the cost of commodities, such as steel and precious metals, necessitates the company to pass on a part of it through (an) increase in (the) price of the products,” Tata Motors told shareholders. “The company has further strived to minimise the increase in the price by absorbing a certain portion of the cost at various levels of manufacturing. Further, Tata Motors continues the efforts to deliver the lowest total cost of ownership for its customers and fleet owners,” it added.

The company’s commercial and passenger vehicles are marketed in countries spread across Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, South East Asia, South America, Australia, the CIS, and Russia.
