Bajaj Auto and Ather Energy have announced price increases across their vehicle ranges, attributing this decision to a significant rise in metal and raw material costs. This surge in costs is largely driven by the ongoing conflict in West Asia, which has disrupted supply chains and led to inflation in input prices.
