Kawasaki India to increase prices from April 1, 2019

New Delhi : India Kawasaki Motors (IKM) has announced that it will be increasing prices of its select models in India by up to 7 per cent. The new prices will come into effect from April 1, 2019.

Explaining the move, Kawasaki India said, "IKM strives hard to keep the price of its models very competitive in the India market. However, due to the increasing costs of raw materials and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, IKM is compelled to change the price of our models."
