Nissan Motor India has announced an increase in prices of the Micra hatchback and the petrol version of the Sunny mid-size sedan. The hike in prices is a result of the depreciating value of the rupee in relation to the international market. Prices of all variants of the petrol Micra will go up by Rs. 3,000 while the diesel variants will cost an additional Rs. 12,000. Prices of all variants of the Petrol Sunny will go up by Rs. 5,000. 

The price hike will be in effect from January 20th, 2012.

Announcing the price increase Managing Director of Nissan Motor India, Kiminobu Tokuyama, said, “The rising input costs and depreciating rupee have left us with no option but to revisit the prices of our models in order to maintain our business momentum. We have kept in mind the customer interest and attempted a very marginal hike. We are sure that our valued customers will appreciate our efforts to give them the global quality products at affordable prices.” 

Nissan, however, will not raise prices of the diesel Sunny owing to strong demand for the car. The sedan racks up the highest sales figures in Nissan India’s model line-up selling 3,663 units since its launch in September until December 2011. Nissan is expecting the diesel Sunny to sell in considerable numbers and hence has deferred a price hike. We reported in December 2012 that new car prices will be going up in January 2011. With Maruti Suzuki and General Motors too announcing price hikes, expect other manufacturers to go down the same path soon.
