Maruti Suzuki Raises Select Model Prices by Up to ₹20,000
Maruti Suzuki says some of its cars will become more expensive.
The increase can be as much as ₹20,000.
The company says materials and other business costs have gone up.
It also says inflation is making it more expensive to operate.
Maruti tried to reduce costs so customers would feel a smaller increase.
However, the company says it must pass some costs on to buyers.
The reports disagree on whether the increase starts in the current September or September 2026.
Maruti has not yet said exactly which models or versions will cost more.
Maruti Suzuki India will increase prices on selected models by up to ₹20,000 from September.
One report specifies the latest increase will take effect in September 2026, while others describe it as beginning during the current month.
The automaker cited sustained input-cost increases, elevated inflation and an adverse cost environment.
Maruti Suzuki has not disclosed the affected models or variant-wise revised prices in the latest announcement.
The increase follows earlier hikes of up to ₹30,000, while Tata Motors and Hyundai Motor India have also raised prices.
