Tata Motors has recently hiked the prices of the Altroz hatchback, with the petrol variants now being more expensive by up to Rs 15,000, while prices for the diesel variants have gone up by a maximum of Rs 20,000.

- Turbo-petrol variants see a reduction in price by up to Rs 8,000
- Diesel variants see the maximum price hike by up to Rs 20,000
