    KTM and Husqvarna are the latest manufacturers to increase prices of their product line-ups this month. In recent weeks, two-wheeler manufacturers like TVS, Royal EnfieldBajaj and Yamaha have all announced price hikes. Rising input costs due to the ongoing semiconductor crisis is believed to be a major reason.
