Japanese carmaker Honda said it is planning to raise prices for its entire model range from January 2023. According to the PTI news agency, the company may increase the price of its cars by as much as Rs 30,000 from January to partially offset the impact of higher input costs. and prepare products for upcoming more stringent emissions standards.

The company joins Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata Motors, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Renault, Kia India and MG Motor, which have already made year-end announcements to raise prices starting next month.

The device will constantly monitor key parts to meet emissions standards, such as the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors, to keep a close eye on emissions.

In addition, the vehicles will also carry fuel injectors that are programmed to control the level of fuel consumption. This, in turn, will control the timing and amount of fuel injected into the petrol engine.

Even the semiconductors the car uses need to be upgraded to control the throttle, crankshaft positions, air intake pressure, engine temperature, and exhaust emissions content (particles, NOx, CO2, sulfur), etc.

As mentioned above, major automakers have also announced price increases from January 2023. Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL) recently said: “The company has continued to absorb rising costs, however it will now transfer a portion of the increased input cost by reviewing prices across its range of models.
