Maruti Suzuki Announces Price Hike From August

Maruti Suzuki India Limited has announced a price increase across its vehicle range of up to ₹30,000, effective August 2026. The price adjustment marks the second increase implemented by the country’s largest passenger vehicle manufacturer in short succession, following a similar hike of up to ₹30,000 introduced in June.

In a regulatory filing with the stock exchanges, the company cited persistent commodity inflation and rising input costs as the primary drivers behind the adjustment. The automaker stated it attempted to absorb cost increases through internal efficiency measures and cost reduction initiatives. However, sustained pressure on operating margins necessitated "passing a fraction of the cost burden on to the market."

When announcing its previous revision in June, Maruti Suzuki had also attributed the decision to a sustained rise in input costs and elevated inflationary pressures. 

The exact price adjustment will vary depending on the specific model and variant. The upcoming August price adjustment follows a pattern of broader industry price revisions across the domestic automotive sector aimed at managing raw material volatility, with Mahindra, BYD and Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles among others announcing price hikes in recent weeks.
