9th May 2025, 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.
Minimizing customer impact:
This two-stage price revision announcement allows customers to plan their purchases and finance schemes that best suit their requirements, instead of facing a steep upward price revision owing to the current pricing challenges in the market. In addition, the innovative and value-added services from Mercedes-Benz Financial Services like reduced EMI, partial ownership via STAR AGILITY, will significantly reduce any impact on customers’ cash flow, elevating their ownership experience. These schemes will ensure that the monthly EMI outflow for Mercedes-Benz customers will remain largely unchanged despite the minimal price revision, thereby minimizing the impact on their expenses. For models like the GLA and GLC, the EMI difference will be less than Rs. 2,000.
