Synopsis: Hyundai Motor India will raise vehicle prices by 1% from May 2026 to offset input costs, coming off a record-breaking domestic sales performance of 1.66 lakh units in Q4.
Hyundai Motor India (HMIL) announced a marginal 1% price hike across its portfolio effective May 1, 2026. The automaker cited escalating raw material and logistics costs as the primary reason for the adjustment, which is significantly lower than the aggressive hikes seen across the industry over the past year. Following the news, Hyundai shares surged 3.45% to ₹1,781.20 on the NSE, as investors reacted positively to the company’s margin protection strategy.
The hike coincides with Hyundai’s strongest quarterly performance to date. In Q4 FY2026, domestic sales hit a record 1,66,578 units, supported by an 8.5% year-on-year growth.
In March 2026, the company achieved an all-time high sales figure of 55,064 units. Along with an export increase of 9.4%, the total sales stood at 2,08,275 units. Mr. Tarun Garg, MD & CEO of HMIL, is confident about the coming year, with the relaunch of Verna and Exter expected to boost As of April 8, 2026, Hyundai Motor India shares were trading at Rs 1,781.20 on the NSE, up 3.45% from their previous close of Rs 1,706.10.
The stock touched an intraday high of Rs 1,798.00 before paring some gains, with traded volume of 8.69 lakh shares worth Rs 153.97 crore changing hands through the session.
The stock’s one-month return of negative 15.72% had left it trading well below its 52-week high of Rs 2,890.00, and today’s price action suggests some buyers are treating that compression as an entry point ahead of the new fiscal year.
A major subsidiary of South Korea’s Hyundai Motor Company, HMIL is India’s second-largest automaker, following a landmark 2024 listing. The company commands a diverse portfolio from hatchbacks to SUVs and serves as a critical global export hub for emerging markets. This 1% price revision is backed by significant operational strength, as Hyundai recently achieved its best-ever quarterly domestic performance in Q4 FY26 with sales of 1,66,578 units.
