The chip shortage and supply chain costs have affected the auto industry on a large scale. Due to this long-running issue, many carmakers have increased their prices and the supply chain issue has also led manufacturers to eliminate trims from the lineup. In this run, Audi India has also announced a price hike in its product lineup. The prices of all Audi cars in India will face a hike of 2.4%. The price hike will be implemented from the 20th of September 2022.
