Apart from the sales figures the company also announced price hike. The company announced increase in prices of select models ranging from Rs 1500 to Rs 5000 (Ex Showroom Delhi).
In case of newly launched models like Vitara Brezza and Baleno, the prices are being increased by upto Rs 20000 and up to Rs 10000 respectively. We think the company has strategically increased prices and impact would be visible from H2FY17. We have positive bias about the counter.
