Maruti price increase from August! How much more will you pay?

Planning to buy a new Maruti Suzuki next month? You may need to stretch your budget a bit further. India’s largest carmaker has announced yet another price revision in its model range, with prices increasing by up to Rs 30,000 from August 2026. The latest revision comes just weeks after the company raised prices in June, the second hike in three months. In a regulatory filing with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), Maruti Suzuki said the decision was due to persistent inflationary pressure and unfavorable cost environment. The company said it absorbed some of the higher costs, but now has to pass some of the increase on to customers. “The company is obliged to pass on some of the increased value to the market while continuing to ensure that the impact on customers is kept as minimal as possible,” the company said in its filing. The price increase will vary depending on the model and variant. However, Maruti Suzuki is yet to release the revised price breakdown by model. As a result, current growth for individual vehicles will vary across the company’s portfolio. For potential buyers, the timing of the purchase can make a difference. Customers who complete their reservations before the revised rates take effect may still be eligible for current rates subject to dealer terms and vehicle delivery schedule. Automakers across the industry have been dealing with rising input costs and inflationary pressures in recent months, prompting several manufacturers to revise car prices.
