Maruti Suzuki to hike car prices by up to Rs 30,000 from August
Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. has announced a price increase of up to Rs 30,000 across its vehicle lineup starting in August 2026. The company cites persistent inflationary pressures and rising input costs as the primary drivers for the decision.
Why it matters
As India's largest carmaker, price hikes by Maruti Suzuki often signal broader inflationary trends in the automotive sector and consumer goods market.
India's largest carmaker, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd., on Tuesday announced a fresh price hike of up to Rs 30,000 across its vehicle portfolio, citing persistent inflationary pressures and a challenging cost environment.
The revised prices will come into effect from August 2026, with the exact increase varying across models and variants, the company said in a regulatory filing.
"For the past few months, the company has been making continuous efforts to mitigate the cost impact to the extent possible through cost reduction measures. However, with inflationary burdens now at elevated levels and the adverse cost environment continuing, the company is constrained to pass on a portion of the increased costs to the market, while continuing to ensure that the impact on customers is kept to the minimum extent possible," Maruti Suzuki said.
The automaker added that the "exact quantum of change will vary from model to model."
