The price hike excludes the limited-run Neotech Edition of the Kwid and has resulted in the discontinuation of the base-spec RXE variant of the standard Duster

Renault has hiked the Kwid’s prices by up to Rs 18,500.
The hatchback is now priced from Rs 3.12 lakh to 5.31 lakh (ex-showroom).
Prices of the Triber have shot up by up to Rs 15,500.
It now costs between Rs 5.20 lakh and 7.50 lakh (ex-showroom).
Renault has increased the Duster’s prices by up to Rs 40,000.

It was in December 2020 that Renault had announced that it will be increasing the prices of all models in its Indian portfolio by up to Rs 28,000. This has turned out to be true except for the base-spec RXE variant of the Duster Turbo that has become costlier by Rs 40,000. Here’s a look at the new pricing of each model:
