This information was conveyed by the company in a filing to the exchange on Monday. "Hero <keyword id="20291118" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="motocorp" source="keywords">MotoCorp</keyword> will make an upward revision in the ex-showroom prices of select motorcycles and scooters, with effect from July 1, 2024," said the company. The price increase will be up to Rs 1,500 on various models, although the exact amount will differ depending on the specific model and market. "The price revision will be up to Rs. 1,500 and the exact quantum of increase will vary by specific model and market," the company clarified. This means that while some models might see a smaller increase, others could reach the maximum threshold of Rs 1,500. The company has attributed this price adjustment to the rising input costs associated with manufacturing. The company stated that the increase was necessary to mitigate some of these higher costs. "The revision has been necessitated to partially offset the impact of higher input costs," the company stated. The two-wheeler sales in India experienced a marginal decline in May as compared to the same period in the previous year. The major two-wheeler manufacturers of the country reported a decrease in sales numbers, reflecting a broader trend in the industry. In May 2024 Hero MotoCorp, sold 498,123 units, marking a decrease from the 519,474 units sold in May 2023. This decline was observed in both the scooter and motorcycle segments. Specifically, Hero MotoCorp's scooter sales fell to 26,937 units in May 2024, down from 30,138 units in May 2023. Motorcycle sales also saw a decline, with 471,186 units sold in May 2024 compared to 489,336 units in May 2023. However, the company registered growth in export sales. Hero Moto Corp exports were up from 11,165 units in May 2023 to 18,673 units in May 2024.

All that changed in 2020. The cost of labor and commodities soared — and chains raised their prices in response. In the year to April 2023, prices at limited-service restaurants went up by 8.2%.Those rises are cooling, but remain far above pre-pandemic levels — and are coming back to bite fast-food chains."Consumers are kind of pushing back on spending and are deciding to find cheaper ways to eat," O'Cull said. Low-income diners in particular are <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/fast-food-expensive-americans-cook-at-home-visit-independent-restaurants-2024-5">buying more groceries</a>, turning to diners or casual-dining chains to get a sit-down experience for just a few dollars more — or they're still getting their fast-food burgers and fries, but are being more prudent about what they buy."Quick service posted its fifth straight quarter of decelerating comp trends, marking a change from prior times of consumer choppiness during which quick service tended to be the most resilient space," William Blair analyst Sharon Zackfia said in a note on Thursday.<div type="image" title="McDonald's fast food restaurant in Manhattan, New York, United States of America, on July 6th, 2024." height="2001" width="3000" msid="112630663" hostid="261" sizebytes="600222"></div>During a slowdown, lower-end consumers cut down on fast food, but this is typically more than offset by the influx of middle- and higher-income consumers, Brian Yarbrough, an Edward Jones analyst, told BI.But in this instance, fast-food chains have raised prices "so much" that it's shrunk the gap between fast-food and fast-casual prices, meaning more low-earners are trading out of the sector than high-earners are trading in, he said.<h2 id="cdef5103-6ac0-4864-b952-122ac26b7600">Traffic boost </h2>As customers turn their noses up at high prices, restaurants have resorted to value meals and combo bundles to draw in new diners. Andy Barish, an analyst at Jefferies, said this represented a return to a pre-pandemic promotional approach.Executives at McDonald's and Burger King have said their $5 deals have proved popular, especially among lower-income consumers.But restaurants have to ensure the deals drive enough traffic to offset the lower prices, Yarbrough said.Bosses also hope that once value menus get customers through the door, they'll end up bulking up their orders with extra items, too. Both McDonald's and Burger King said the average order including their combo meals came to more than $10. Jack in the Box said that its Munchies Under $4 deal didn't drive as much traffic as expected, but did lead to higher average order sizes.O'Cull of Stifel said he thought the value deals had been a "positive" for both fast-food chains and their franchisees: "For the time being, I think they'll probably stick with this."

Mobile phone users might have to spend notably more for their recharge packs after the general election, as reports indicate that telecom firms are gearing up for a fourth round of <keyword id="891186" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tariff-hikes" source="Orion">tariff hikes</keyword> in recent times. According to a report by brokerage Axis Capital, a meaningful hike of approximately 25% by operators is anticipated soon. This surge is attributed to a stable competitive environment, the necessity to bolster profitability post heavy <keyword id="21245910" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="5G-investments" source="keywords">5G investments</keyword>, and ongoing government support. Despite the apparent magnitude of the increase, the report suggests it should be manageable for both urban and rural users. Urban households may witness a rise in telecom expenditure from 3.2% to 3.6% of total expenditure, while for rural subscribers, spending could escalate from 5.2% to 5.9%. Analysts predict that the consumers are likely to remain loyal and pay up, especially if they continue to enjoy high-speed connectivity — a vital need of these modern times. For <keyword id="20055601" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="telecom-operators" source="keywords">telecom operators</keyword>, the projected roughly 25% hike in headline rates is expected to correspond to a 16% growth in the average revenue per user (ARPU), as estimated by Axis Capital. While <keyword id="2003276" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="jio" source="Orion">Jio</keyword> reported an ARPU of Rs 181.7 for the quarter ending March, Bharti Airtel and <keyword id="19899016" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="vodafone-idea" source="keywords">Vodafone Idea</keyword> (Vi) are yet to disclose their March quarter numbers. However, their figures stood at Rs 208 and Rs 145 respectively for the October-December 2023 period. Peeyush Vaish, TMT industry leader at Deloitte, South Asia, anticipates a 10-15% increase in ARPUs, adding approximately Rs 100 per subscriber by the end of this calendar year. This hike is expected to be driven by price increases for 4G/5G bundled packs and the phasing out of low-value packs. Analysts foresee Bharti Airtel and Jio emerging as the primary beneficiaries of the <keyword id="21656632" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="wireless-pack-price-hike" source="keywords">wireless pack price hike</keyword>. While Vi is also expected to boost its ARPU by fortifying its network and minimising subscriber churn, the overall revenue impact may still be limited compared to its competitors. At the end of Q4 FY24, Jio’s total assets stood at Rs 4,87,405 crore, while its net profit from January to March climbed to Rs 5,337 crore from Rs 4,716 crore a year ago. On the other hand, Bharti Airtel’s consolidated Q4 revenue came in at Rs 37,599 crore, with its net profit of Rs 2,072 crore dropping 31.1% compared to a year ago.

The data is based on on-the-shelf prices collected at stores, a spokesperson for Datasembly told Insider.Demand for eggs — and, consequently, their prices — typically increase during the holidays as consumers bake <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-easy-cookie-recipe-chocolate-peppermint-professional-baker-2023">Christmas cookies</a> and other seasonal treats. But the latest increase seems driven by more than that.Cal-Maine Foods, the largest egg producer in the US, said Tuesday that it paused production at one of its Kansas facilities after chickens tested positive for avian flu.The facility includes about 684,000 egg-laying chickens, or 1.6% of the company's entire flock."Cal-Maine Foods is working to secure production from other facilities to minimize disruption to its customers," the company said <a target="_blank" href="https://www.calmainefoods.com/investors/">in a statement.</a>An outbreak of avian flu in the US sent egg prices higher toward the end of 2022.

Typically, automakers hike prices of vehicles effective from April 1. This time, the <keyword id="172534" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="price-hikes" source="Orion">price hikes</keyword> are led by high inflation and regulatory requirements. Starting from Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki and Honda to Hero MotoCorp, several automakers have increased prices of their vehicles to comply with new regulatory norms required for a cleaner environment. The Indian auto industry has geared up to meet the stricter emission norms under phase two of the BSVI standards. From April 1, vehicles will need to have an onboard diagnostic (OBD2) device to monitor the real-time driving emission levels to meet the stricter emission norms. On March 23, Maruti Suzuki India said it will increase prices of its model range in April to partially offset the impact of inflation and to meet the regulatory requirements. The automaker did not share the quantum of the price hike it intends to implement from next month. “The company continues to witness increased cost pressure driven by overall inflation and regulatory requirements. While the company makes maximum effort to reduce cost and partially offset the increase, it has become imperative to pass on some of the impact through a price increase. The company has planned this price increase in April 2023, which shall vary across models,” said Maruti Suzuki in an exchange filing. On March 21, Tata Motors also announced a price increase of up to 5% on its commercial vehicles starting from April 1, 2023. “The decision to increase prices is a result of the company's efforts to comply with the more stringent BSVI phase II emission norms,” said Tata Motors in an exchange filing. “As Tata Motors transitions its entire vehicle portfolio to meet these standards, customers and fleet owners can expect a range of cleaner, greener, and technologically superior offerings that deliver higher benefits and lower total cost of ownership,” added Tata Motors. At the same time, <keyword id="1381889" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="honda-cars-india" source="Orion">Honda Cars India</keyword> also increased the price of its entry level compact sedan, the Amaze, by up to ₹12,000 effective April 1. Joining the trend, two-wheeler maker Hero MotoCorp also made an upward revision in the ex-showroom prices of its select motorcycles and scooters by up to 2%. “The price revision has been necessitated mainly due to cost increases on account of OBD 2 transition,” said the automaker. The scooter maker also highlighted that the rural markets have been witnessing an upswing in demand, “thanks to the government schemes in the social sector and healthy agricultural outputs.'' Further, the company expects the growth momentum to lead into the upcoming festive season towards the latter half of the fiscal year.

Companies such as <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/auto/news/tata-motors-to-hike-prices-of-passenger-vehicles-from-november-7/articleshow/95319994.cms">Tata Motors</a>, <a href="https://www.cardekho.com/india-car-news/skoda-kushaq-and-slavia-receive-another-price-hike-in-2022-29917.htm">Skoda</a> and Volvo have also effected price hikes in the last three months. While Skoda raised them by up to ₹60,000, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/auto/news/tata-motors-mulling-price-hike-for-passenger-vehicles-from-next-month/articleshow/96003489.cms">Tata Motors</a> increased prices by up to 0.9% across models. In November 2022, premium car maker Volvo hiked the price of the XC40 Recharge, XC60, and XC90 SUVs in India by up to 1.8%, citing increase in input costs due to disruptions in the global supply chain. A recent <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/auto/news/tata-motors-mulling-price-hike-for-passenger-vehicles-from-next-month/articleshow/96003489.cms">report</a> revealed that Tata Motors is planning another price hike in January 2023. Shailesh Chandra, managing director, passenger and electric vehicles at Tata Motors, in an interaction with PTI said that the company was considering a price increase to offset the increasing costs due to regulatory changes around emission norms and increasing battery prices. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Maruti Suzuki’s two price hikes in 2022" comment="subhead" text="Maruti Suzuki’s two price hikes in 2022">Maruti Suzuki’s two price hikes in 2022</cmsannotation> While this is the first price hike from the company in 2023, the automaker had announced two price hikes in 2022.
