Maruti Suzuki has confirmed an upcoming price hike of up to 4 percent for its entire model line-up. Set to go into effect starting April 2025, the price increase is claimed to be a result of rising input costs and operational expenses for the carmaker.
Price hikes are usually implemented in varying degrees for Maruti Suzuki’s model portfolio, so it remains to be seen which of its cars see the highest 4 percent increase from April 2025. This marks the third price hike from Maruti Suzuki so far this year, with the company previously having levied price increases of up to Rs 32,500 for the Celerio, Brezza, Alto K10, and more models in February and January.
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 the ballooning raw material costs and supply chain troubles that several automobile manufacturers are currently facing in India. Therefore, more carmakers operating in India could announce price hikes in the coming months.
A recent regulatory filing from Maruti Suzuki outlines that while the company constantly attempts to "optimise costs and minimise the impact on its customers, some portion of the increased cost may need to be passed on to the market."
