thebalanced.newsMaruti Suzuki Announces Up to Rs 30,000 Price Increase from June 2026
Maruti Suzuki India will raise vehicle prices by up to Rs 30,000 from June 2026 due to sustained increases in input costs and inflation, as stated in a regulatory filing. The company has tried to absorb some costs through internal measures but now plans to pass on part of the burden to customers. This price revision aligns with similar hikes announced by other Indian automakers like Mahindra, Tata Motors, and Hyundai amid ongoing industry-wide cost pressures.
