Maruti Suzuki to Raise Vehicle Prices by Up to Rs 30,000 from August 2026
Maruti Suzuki India announced a price increase of up to Rs 30,000 across its vehicle models effective August 2026, citing sustained rises in input costs and inflationary pressures. The company has made efforts to absorb higher expenses through cost-reduction measures but now must pass on part of the increased costs to customers. The exact price hike will vary by model. This marks the second price revision within two months amid ongoing challenges in commodity prices, logistics, and operational costs affecting the auto industry.
