Mercedes-Benz India to implement price correction from January 2026 due to forex and cost escalation

Mercedes-Benz India said it will revise prices by up to 2% effective January 1, 2026, following a year of elevated forex volatility and increased operational costs. The Euro’s persistent trading above ₹100 through 2025, combined with rising material, logistics and inflation-related expenses, has led to the price correction.

The company reiterated that it is shielding customers from the full impact of these cost pressures and is transferring only a partial increase to the market. Adjustment levels vary across models based on import dependency. Mercedes-Benz India is evaluating additional price reviews in 2026 if currency conditions do not stabilise.

CEO Santosh Iyer said the sustained currency headwinds have impacted every part of the operation—from CKD imports to CBU sourcing. He added that repo rate reductions by the RBI have allowed MBFS to reduce the financial burden on customers.

MBFS will continue providing financing structures to maintain affordability, especially as financing accounts for a significant majority of Mercedes-Benz purchases in the country.
