Mahindra & Mahindra weighs SUV price hike amid rising commodity costs

Mahindra & Mahindra is weighing another price increase across its SUV portfolio amid recent commodity price increases, with a decision expected in the next couple of weeks, its Automotive President and CEO Nalinikanth Gollagunta said.
