If you are planning to buy a luxury car in the beginning of 2026, then this news is useful for you. Mercedes-Benz and BMW, two big companies in India’s luxury car market, have announced to increase the prices of their cars. Both the companies are going to increase the prices of their models by 2 to 3 percent from January 1, 2026. The special thing is that this increase is being made for the first time after the GST cut in September 2025. Let us know the reason behind this.

Why are car prices being increased?

• According to the companies, this increase in prices is being done due to the weakness of the Indian rupee. Rupee continues to remain weak against Euro, due to which expenditure on imports has increased. Mercedes-Benz says it has tried to limit the price increase to about 2 percent. At the same time, according to market related information, BMW can increase the prices of its cars by about 3 percent.

Effect of rupee weakness

• During the year 2025, the exchange rate between Euro and Rupee remained above Rs 100 for a long time. Earlier, Mercedes-Benz had also increased prices by 1 to 1.5 percent in September 2025. According to the company, pressure on the supply chain has increased due to weak currency. In India, the cost of cars which are completely imported or for which parts are imported from outside, has increased significantly.

Strong sales of Mercedes-Benz in the festive season

• Despite the price increase, the festive season of 2025 was very good for Mercedes-Benz. The company sold around 2,500 cars in 9 days of Navratri. The average price of these cars was around Rs 1 crore. However, sales remained slightly weak in November after October. Including October and November, the company sold 3,396 units, which was almost equal to last year.

Increase in BMW sales

• October and November 2025 were a better time for BMW. During this period, an increase of 6 percent was recorded in the company’s sales and a total of 2,849 units were sold. These figures have come from the data of Federation of Automotive Dealers Association.

Cars may become more expensive in future

• The weakness of the rupee has been seen not only against the euro but also against the dollar and the Chinese yuan. This may increase the cost of parts like electric vehicle batteries and special magnets, which are mostly supplied from China. This may have further impact on car prices in the future. If you are thinking of buying a Mercedes-Benz or BMW car, then it can be beneficial to buy before January 1, 2026. The prices of these luxury cars are sure to increase from the new year.

The country’s anti-corruption watchdog i.e. Lokpal of India has issued a proposal to purchase 7 luxury BMW cars to further improve its administrative and logistics system. The price of each car is said to be more than Rs 60 lakh, which has sparked controversy on social media. A public tender was issued by Lokpal on 16 October 2025 for the purchase of 7 BMW LI (Long Wheel Base).

BMW will provide training to Lokpal office drivers

It has been told in the notice of Lokpal that the bid submission will start from October 17, while the last date for bid submission is November 6 at 3 pm. Technical scrutiny of the bid will start from November 7. These cars will have to be delivered within 30 days of placing the order. After delivery, the company BMW will provide one week training to the drivers and employees of the Lokpal office through its experts. During this, information related to electronic system and its operation will be given.

‘Members of Lokpal are engrossed in their luxury’

Congress leader Shama Mohammad and Supreme Court lawyer Prashant Bhushan have targeted the Modi government at the Center regarding this tender of Lokpal of India. Prashant Bhushan said, “Modi government has kept an institution like Lokpal vacant for many years and then appointed such people who have left it in dust. These members do not care about corruption. Everyone is engrossed in their luxury. Now they are buying BMW cars worth Rs 70 lakh for themselves.”

Congress leader Shama Mohammad targeted at the Center

Congress spokesperson Shama Mohammed also targeted the Lokpal of India. He posted on X and wrote, “Lokpal wants to buy 7 luxury BMW cars worth Rs 5 crore for himself. This is the same institution which was supposed to fight corruption after the so-called India Against Corruption movement. This movement was supported by RSS, whose only objective was to topple the Congress government.”
