Maruti Suzuki to Hike Car Prices by Up to ₹30,000 From August 2026

Maruti Suzuki India, the country’s largest carmaker, has announced a price hike of up to ₹30,000 across its vehicle portfolio, citing a sustained rise in input costs and continued inflationary pressures. The revised prices will come into effect from August 2026.

In a regulatory filing on Tuesday, the automaker said the increase would vary depending on the model. The company attributed the decision to the persistent escalation in input costs, which has continued to put pressure on the automobile industry.

“ 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,” Maruti Suzuki India said in the filing.

The company said it had been undertaking cost-reduction measures over the past several months to absorb the impact of higher expenses and limit the burden on customers. However, with inflationary pressures remaining elevated and the overall cost environment continuing to be challenging, Maruti said it had been compelled to pass on a portion of the increased costs to buyers.

The automaker added that it would continue efforts to ensure that the impact of the price revision on customers remains as limited as possible.

The upcoming price increase will cover Maruti Suzuki’s broad range of passenger vehicles, spanning entry-level hatchbacks to premium utility vehicles. Its portfolio includes models such as the S-Presso at the entry level and the Invicto in the premium segment.

Maruti Suzuki’s vehicles are currently priced between around ₹3.5 lakh and ₹28.70 lakh (ex-showroom). The company’s decision comes amid persistent cost pressures affecting manufacturers across the automotive sector, with higher input expenses increasingly being passed on to consumers through periodic price revisions.
