Maruti Suzuki India has announced a price hike of up to ₹30,000 across its vehicle portfolio from August 2026, citing a continued rise in input costs and an unfavourable cost environment. The country’s largest carmaker informed the stock exchanges that the price revision has become necessary due to sustained increases in production expenses.
In a regulatory filing with the BSE, the company said it had been making efforts over the past few months to absorb rising costs through various cost-reduction measures. However, with inflationary pressures remaining high and input costs continuing to increase, Maruti Suzuki has decided to pass on a portion of the additional burden to customers while attempting to minimise the impact.
The company has not announced model-wise price changes and stated that the exact increase will differ depending on the vehicle model. The revised prices will apply across different segments in its portfolio.
Maruti Suzuki’s decision follows similar price revisions by several other automobile manufacturers. Tata Motors recently increased prices of its passenger vehicles, including electric vehicles, by up to 1.5 per cent. Hyundai Motor India and Kia India have also raised vehicle prices in recent months, attributing the hikes to higher raw material costs, commodity price increases and ongoing inflationary pressures.
The latest price adjustment highlights the continued challenges faced by automakers as they manage rising input costs while trying to maintain competitive pricing in the Indian automobile market.
