Maruti cars to become costlier by up to ₹30,000 starting August: Second price hike in two months; company cites rising input costs for the decision.
Maruti Suzuki, the country’s largest passenger vehicle manufacturer, has announced a price hike across all its models. The company will increase car prices by up to ₹30,000. The new prices will come into effect in August 2026.
The company disclosed this information in a regulatory filing submitted to stock exchanges on Tuesday, July 21. Price increases will vary depending on the specific model and variant.
Company says decision driven by rising input costs
The company stated that this decision was necessitated by continuously rising input costs. Over the past few months, the company had attempted to reduce costs internally to avoid a direct impact on customers. However, due to persistent inflation and an unfavorable business environment, it has become unavoidable to pass on a portion of the increased costs to customers.
Second price hike in two months
This is not the first price hike by Maruti Suzuki this year. Previously, the company had raised prices across all its models by up to ₹30,000 in June 2026. That hike was announced on May 21, 2026.
At that time, too, the company had cited rising input costs and inflationary pressures as the primary reasons. The new revision taking effect in August will be an additional increase over the hike implemented in June.
Company sells vehicles ranging from ₹3.50 lakh to ₹25 lakh
Maruti Suzuki sells a range of vehicles in the Indian market, spanning from entry-level hatchbacks to premium segment cars. Its lineup includes everything from the entry-level S-Presso model to the premium Invicto MPV.
Currently, the ex-showroom prices of vehicles in the company’s portfolio range from ₹3.50 lakh to ₹25 lakh. Cars in both entry-level and premium segments will become more expensive following the price hike scheduled for August.
What are regulatory filings and input costs?
Regulatory Filing: Companies listed on the stock exchange are required to disclose information regarding major business decisions, profits, losses, or price changes to SEBI or the stock exchange. This official document is known as a regulatory filing.
Input Cost: Input cost refers to the total cost of raw materials (such as steel, plastic, aluminum, rubber, and electronics) used to manufacture a car. When these materials become more expensive in international or domestic markets, the manufacturing cost of vehicles also rises.
