Mercedes-Benz, BMW to hike car prices 2-3% from Jan 1, 2026 due to rupee fall

• Mercedes-Benz and BMW will increase car prices by 2-3% from January 1, 2026.
• This marks their first price hike since the GST reduction on September 22, 2025.
• The price increase is primarily due to the Indian rupee's depreciation against the euro.
• Mercedes-Benz will cap its price correction at 2%, while BMW will raise prices by up to 3%.
• Rupee depreciation also impacts EV makers, with BYD planning price hikes for its Sealion 7 EV in January 2026.
