TVS Hikes Prices Of All BS6 Compliant Scooters

TVS Motor Company has hiked the prices of almost all its offerings in the Indian market. This could probably be due to the weakening exchange rate as well as the COVID-19 losses. The Hosur-based company has silently increased the prices on all its BS6 compliant scooters. All the scooters have witnessed a price hike in the range of Rs 650-2500.

TVS Motor Company officially has refused to comment on the price hike. Since production, as well as dealerships, are resuming business as usual, these prices will be effective from June 1.
