Mercedes-Benz India to revise the ex-showroom prices of its models in two stages, amidst significant forex fluctuations

Mercedes-Benz India provides customers with a two-stage price correction to minimise the financial impact, offering them the flexibility to plan their purchase. 

This minimal price correction follows the company’s ongoing efforts to absorb a significant portion of the steep rise in foreign exchange rates by increased localization initiatives. 

However, lower interest rates would ensure that customers face only a marginal increase in their Equated Monthly Instalments (EMI). 

The first price correction comes into effect from 1st June 2025, followed by a nominal 1.5% increase from 1st September 2025

“Over the last four months, the rupee has depreciated in the market, with an approximate 10% drop in the Euro to INR exchange rate, causing significant cost pressures on our business operations. This steep swing in the Euro-INR rate has been severely impacting the cost of imports, for both components and CBU cars. Though we have been absorbing most of the exchange rate difference to date and increasing our localization initiatives, we are now compelled to pass on a small portion of it to customers. The continuous rise in operational costs, influenced by forex movement, necessitates this slight price correction, which we will pass on to the market, for sustained business of the company and our Franchise Partners.”

“This staggered approach for price revision, along with the value-added flexible financing programmes from MBFS, will not only minimise any financial burden, but will also offer customers a robust leeway to plan their purchases, best suited to their requirements.” 

Santosh Iyer, Managing Director & CEO, Mercedes-Benz India

  • Mercedes-Benz adopts a two-stage deferred price correction for its customers w.e.f. from June and September 2025
  • Forex rates increased to steep 10% approximately over the last four months, hiking the price of components and CBU products 
  • Mercedes-Benz India is passing only a marginal portion of the steep price increase to customers, as it continues to deepen localization initiatives 
  • Mercedes-Benz Financial services (MBFS) have planned innovative financing solutions that will minimize any cost impact on customers
  • Price corrections will range from Rs. 90,000 for a C-Class to Rs. 12.2 lakhs for the Mercedes-Maybach S 680 
  • The second phase of the price correction to the tune of 1.5% will be effective from 1st September 2025   
  • Mercedes-Benz Financial Services’ innovative schemes will ensure the monthly EMI outflow for customers remain largely unchanged, despite the price revision   

New Delhi: India’s most desirable luxury carmaker Mercedes-Benz India today announced an innovative two-stage price revision of the ex-showroom prices of its model range, effective from 1st June and 1st September 2025. This staggered price revision offers customers the flexibility to plan their purchases that matches their financial outlay. The price revision is triggered by a steep increase in forex rates since January 2025, severely impacting the cost structure of components and products, specifically the CBUs. Mercedes-Benz India is passing on only a marginal portion of the cost increase to the customers, as it continues increased localization efforts. Although Mercedes-Benz has continued to absorb this steep cost increase so far, it is now compelled to pass on minimal cost onto the market, to offset the impact on operational expenses and maintain business sustainability.
