New Delhi, July 23 (IANS) Automobile major Hyundai Motor India will hike prices of its car models by up to Rs 9,200 from August 1.

According to Hyundai Motor India (HMIL), the hike came on account of increase in input costs due to the introduction of new enhanced safety regulations in cars by the government.

"The new prices will be effective from August 1, 2019 across all models," the company said in a statement.
