BMW India will increase prices by up to 3% across its entire vehicle range effective September 1, 2025, the luxury carmaker announced on August 14. The price revision affects both locally produced models and completely built-up units imported by the German automaker.
The company cited continued foreign exchange impact and global supply chain dynamics as primary factors driving increased material and logistics costs behind the decision.
"BMW India's growth and sales momentum in the first half of the year has been remarkable. However, factors like continued forex impact and global supply chain dynamics have been leading to increased material and logistics costs. Our commitment to offer best value and experience throughout customer journey is steadfast. In the festive season, we are geared to introduce several new power-packed profiles of our cars. As the strong demand for BMW's luxurious, pioneering cars continues, we will deliver exceptional performance and innovation to our valued customers," said Vikram Pawah, President and CEO, BMW Group India.
The price increase will apply to locally manufactured models including the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe, BMW 3 Series Long Wheelbase, BMW 5 Series Long Wheelbase, BMW 7 Series, BMW X1, BMW X3, BMW X5, BMW X7, BMW M340i and BMW iX1 Long Wheelbase.
Imported models affected include the BMW i4, BMW i5, BMW i7, BMW i7 M70, BMW iX, BMW Z4 M40i, BMW M2 Coupe, BMW M4 Competition, BMW M4 CS, BMW M5, BMW M8 Competition Coupe and BMW XM Plug-in-Hybrid.
Currency volatility continues to pose a significant challenge for automakers operating in India, especially those reliant on imported components. As the rupee weakens against major currencies like the US dollar and euro, the cost of sourcing essential parts—ranging from semiconductors to battery systems—rises sharply.
This pressure is compounded by the industry's dependence on global supply chains, where over half of the components are typically imported. Even marginal shifts in exchange rates can disrupt budgeting and logistics, prompting manufacturers to adjust pricing to maintain profitability and operational stability.
The company continues to offer financing options through BMW India Financial Services, including customized financial plans, attractive monthly installments, reduced interest rates for select models, assured buy-back options and flexible end-of-term opportunities.
