The country’s largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki Tuesday said it will hike prices across its range of models by up to Rs 30,000 with effect from August to partially offset the impact of increase in input costs. The company had earlier hiked prices in June this year. “In view of the continuous sustained increase in input costs, the company has decided to increase the prices of its models across its portfolio by up to Rs. 30,000. This increase in prices would come into effect in August 2026”, Maruti Suzuki said in a filing. For the past few months, the company said it has been making continuous efforts to mitigate the cost impact to the extent possible through cost reduction measures. The statement added, “However, with inflationary burdens now at elevated levels and the adverse cost environment continuing, the Company is constrained to pass on a portion of the increased costs to the market, while continuing to ensure that the impact on customers is kept to the minimum extent possible”The exact quantum of change will vary from model to model.
