Expected Price Increases
The price increases will go on because of increased freight expenses, declining local currencies, and global logistical difficulties.
As anticipated by Toyota IMC CEO Ali Asghar Jamali, Toyota IMC raised the prices of its vehicles, which is likely to inspire similar actions from other automakers.
In addition, the delayed clearance of the letter of credit for the import of CKD kits has resulted in a serious production crisis for the whole auto industry.
The auto industry is going to be severely impacted by all of these concerns taken together.
