Kolkata: Volvo Car India has deferred the prices of its EV offerings –the XC40 Recharge and the C40 Recharge while effecting a 2% price increase on its other models, a press release said.
The XC40 Recharge is priced at Rs 57,90,000 while the C40 Recharge is priced at 62,95,000.

“We are focused on sustainable luxury e-mobility and have committed that we will be an all-electric company by 2030. We encourage the adoption of EVs and as part of this endeavour have decided that as of now we will hold the prices of our EVs despite rising forex and input costs. Industry dynamics may however compel us to revise the EV prices at a later date. So it’s the best time to buy EVs from the Volvo stable before prices go up” said Jyoti Malhotra, Managing Director, Volvo Car India.
