flag Indian consumer goods prices to rise 5–6% from April 2026 due to higher input costs from Gulf war disruptions and currency depreciation.

flag Prices for cars, electronics, appliances, and consumer goods in India are expected to rise 5–6% starting April 2026 due to a 25% surge in input costs for plastics, resins, and polymers, driven by Gulf war-related supply chain disruptions, a 2% rupee depreciation, and 7–10% higher freight rates. flag Automakers including Mercedes-Benz and Audi have already implemented 2% increases, with mainstream brands preparing similar hikes. flag Appliance makers like Godrej and paint companies like Berger Paints are planning 5–6% and 5% increases, respectively, while footwear and synthetic apparel may rise 8–10%. flag Industry leaders say ongoing supply instability and volatile input costs make price hikes unavoidable despite recent GST reductions.
