Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, and Kia India have confirmed upcoming price hikes for their entire model line-ups. Set to take effect starting April 2025, the price increases are claimed to be a result of rising input costs and operational expenses for the carmakers.
- Maruti Suzuki and Kia to levy up to 4 percent and 3 percent price hikes respectively
- Tata has yet to specify the maximum price hikes for its models
- The price increases will vary depending on the model
Maruti Suzuki price increase in April 2025
Up to 4 percent higher prices
Price hikes are usually implemented in varying degrees for Maruti Suzuki’s model portfolio, so it remains to be seen which of its cars will see the highest 4 percent increase from April 2025. This marks the third price hike of the year from Maruti Suzuki so far, following previous increases of up to Rs 32,500 for the Celerio, Brezza, Alto K10, and other models in January and February.
Maruti Suzuki hasn’t detailed the exact reasons behind its increasing expenditure, but according to our sister publication, Autocar Professional, it may be driven by ballooning raw material costs and supply chain troubles that several automobile manufacturers are currently facing in India.
Tata price increase in April 2025
Starting next month, Tata will also levy price hikes for its full range, which will vary depending on the model and variant. The company attributes the price hikes to "rising input costs," but has yet to confirm the maximum extent of the markups.
Kia price increase in April 2025
Up to 3 percent higher prices
Kia has confirmed a price hike of up to 3 percent for its entire model line-up in India, which comprises the Seltos, Sonet, Syros, EV6, EV9, Carens, and Carnival. The carmaker cites "rising commodity prices" and "escalating supply chain-related costs" as the reason behind the price increases.
