The price of Hilux Revo G 2.8 has been jacked up by Rs670,000 to Rs9,839,000. The cost of the Hilux E has risen from Rs8,449,000 to Rs9,069,000, a surge of Rs620,000.

A notification to dealers said reasons for the price increase are higher raw material cost and significant surge in the vendor’s cost of production.
“Due to economic uncertainties and spike in raw material cost, the vendors’ cost of production has significantly increased,” the company stated in the notice.
“In addition, uncertainties in forex fluctuations, increase in utilities and overheads have also impacted the cost of manufacturing for IMC. Thus, this situation has made it extremely difficult for IMC to hold the current retail selling prices and therefore, we are compelled to pass on some impact to the market,” it added.
