Renault hikes prices of three models

Duster, Scala and Pulse become dearer to partially offset input costs

French auto major Renault has hiked the prices of its three vehicles in India, including compact sports utility vehicle Duster, by one per cent to partially offset rising input costs.

The company, which is present in India through a wholly-owned subsidiary, has increased the prices of Duster, mid-segment sedan Scala and hatchback Pulse, across the country from yesterday, Renault India said in a statement.

"The hike is due to swelling inputs cost, which has driven up the cost of components. The prices of Scala, Pulse and Duster will go up by one per cent with this increase," it added.

The prices of the company's other two models -- Koleos and Fluence -- remain unchanged.
