Maruti Suzuki India has announced another round of price revisions for its passenger vehicle lineup, with prices set to increase by up to Rs 30,000 from August 2026. The company informed stock exchanges that the hike is being introduced in response to sustained inflationary pressures and a continued rise in input costs.
According to the regulatory filing, the exact increase will not be uniform across the range. Instead, the revision will vary depending on the model, with individual price changes to be announced closer to the implementation date.
In its filing, Maruti Suzuki said it had been absorbing a significant portion of the increased manufacturing costs through internal cost-saving initiatives over the past several months. However, as commodity prices and other input costs remain elevated, the automaker said it has been left with little choice but to pass on part of the burden to customers while trying to minimise the overall impact.
The August revision comes barely weeks after Maruti Suzuki revised prices in June, making it another price correction in quick succession. Like the earlier increase, the company has again pointed to inflation and higher production costs as the key reasons behind the move.
The latest hike will cover Maruti Suzuki’s entire passenger vehicle portfolio, including hatchbacks, sedans, SUVs and MPVs. Models such as the Alto K10, S-Presso, Celerio, WagonR, Swift, Dzire, Baleno, Fronx, Brezza, Ertiga, Grand Vitara, Jimny, Invicto and the recently introduced Victoris will all see revised prices, although the increase will differ from one model to another.
Maruti Suzuki is not alone in revising prices. Several manufacturers, including Mahindra, Tata Motors and BYD, have announced price hikes in recent weeks as the industry continues to grapple with higher raw material prices, logistics expenses and broader inflationary pressures.
With costs showing little sign of easing, the latest announcement underlines the continued pressure on automakers to balance profitability with competitive pricing in India’s highly price-sensitive passenger vehicle market.
