Maruti Suzuki announces price hike of up to Rs 30,000 across models, carmaker cites input cost pressure

Maruti Suzuki India Limited on Tuesday announced a price hike of up to Rs 30,000 across models with effect from August 2026, citing sustained increase in input costs.

India's largest automaker said it had been making continuous efforts over the past few months to mitigate the impact of rising costs through various cost-reduction measures. However, with input cost inflation remaining elevated and the adverse cost environment persisting, Maruti Suzuki said it has been compelled to pass on a part of the increased costs to customers while trying to minimise the impact.

Shares of Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) were trading at Rs 13,630 per scrip after a Rs 122.55 hike around 15:29 on Tuesday on BSE.

The automaker clarified that the exact price increase will vary across models.

This announcement marks Maruti Suzuki’s latest price revision in 2026 amid rising commodity, logistics and operational costs.

In May, the car manufacturer said it has been making continuous efforts to mitigate the cost impact to the extent possible through cost reduction measures.

In February, the company said it was evaluating another round of price hikes as input costs, especially precious metals and commodities, continued to rise despite efforts to improve efficiencies.
