- Passenger-vehicle price hikes or incentive changes from Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Mahindra, Kia, and MG.
- Steel, aluminum, battery-material, freight, and currency trends that determine whether further repricing is needed.
- Festive-season demand indicators, dealer footfall, loan approval rates, and used-car residual values.
- Promote an August booking-and-delivery deadline to pull forward demand before the September 1 effective date.
- Use variant- and powertrain-specific pricing rather than uniform increases, preserving affordability on high-volume entry trims.
- Shift dealer communication toward monthly-payment affordability through financing schemes, exchange bonuses, and bundled ownership offers.
- Increase targeted support for aged MY2025 EV inventory while keeping newer model-year incentives narrower.
- Monitor competitor price actions and recalibrate discounts if rivals hold prices or launch aggressive festive-period promotions.
