New Delhi, March 19 (IANS) Automobile manufacturer BMW Group India announced on Thursday that it will implement a price hike of up to 2 per cent across its BMW and MINI ranges effective April 1, 2026.

The company recently claimed its best-ever annual performance in 2025, recording highest car sales of 18,001 units, a strong 14 per cent year-on-year (YoY) growth that outpaced the average growth rate of India’s luxury car segment.

Models such as the BMW i7 and BMW iX1 continued to lead their respective segments, with the iX1 emerging as the highest-selling premium EV in India.

Long wheelbase models also saw exceptional demand, with sales rising 162 per cent year-on-year to 8,608 units.
