BMW may hike prices in Jan to offset impact of weak rupee against euro: CEO

Business Standard

German luxury carmaker BMW is looking to hike vehicle prices from next month as it aims to offset the impact of the weakened rupee against the euro, company's President and CEO Hardeep Singh Brar said on Thursday. The company had earlier announced to increase prices by up to 3 per cent from September 1 this year, citing the adverse impact of continued forex fluctuation and global supply chain dynamics. BMW currently sells a range of luxury cars and SUVs, including electric vehicles, starting with the 2 Series Gran Coupe priced at Rs 45.3 lakh and the XM tagged at Rs 2.54 crore, in the Indian market. "Forex fluctuation is a big dampener. We were looking at somewhere about 93 to 95 (rupee against euro) this year, but it is actually around 103 to 105, so it's about 10 per cent deterioration versus our expectation. So that puts a lot of pressure on pricing and profitability," Brar told PTI. He noted that the company was not considering raising prices with the new GST rates coming into

The Haas Formula 1 team will get a new name next season, further showcasing its relationship with Japanese automaker Toyota. In a statement Thursday, the team said its name in 2026 will be TGR Haas F1 Team. The TGR stands for Toyota Gazoo Racing, which is the racing division of the Toyota Motor Corporation. Taking over the title sponsorship means Toyota is now more involved in F1 than at any time since it pulled its team out after the 2009 season. Haas and Toyota entered into the first stages of this technical partnership a year ago and the Haas car has been carrying Toyota's branding since. The partnership involves design and technical services but does not include a Toyota engine. Haas will run next year with Ferrari power, but it does move the company ever deeper into Formula 1. Toyota ran a team in F1 until the end of the 2009 season. It failed to win a race despite spending heavily. This move does not appear to mark a return to that level of involvement.
