KTM and Husqvarna brands have joined the long list of two-wheeler makers who recently hiked prices on their respective offerings. The sister brands, part of KTM AG, are the newest manufacturers to increase prices across their product portfolio by up to ₹ 2,048. The rising input costs of raw materials and the semiconductor chip shortage have forced two-wheeler makers to hike prices substantially this year and it seems KTM and Husqvarna have now decided to pass on the cost to customers. Manufacturers including TVS, Yamaha, and Royal Enfield, among others announced price hikes since the beginning of the current financial year.[1]
