Maruti cars could cost Rs 30,000 more soon. Here’s why

on Thursday said it will increase prices across its vehicle portfolio by up to Rs 30,000 from June 2026, owing to sustained rise in input costs and inflationary pressures.

The automaker said it had been taking steps over the past few months to reduce costs and limit the burden on customers.

“For the past few months, the Company has been making continuous efforts to mitigate the cost impact to the extent possible through cost reduction measures,” Maruti Suzuki said in information to the exchanges.

“However, with inflationary pressures now at elevated levels and the adverse cost environment persisting, the Company has to pass on a portion of the increased costs to the market, while continuing to ensure that the impact on customers is kept to the minimum extent possible,” the company added.

The company said the exact increase would vary depending on the model.

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

Earlier this year, Maruti Suzuki had deferred a planned price increase by 15-20 days after reducing prices of entry-level small cars following GST rate cuts in September 2025. The company had lowered prices of models such as Alto K10, S-Presso, Celerio and Wagon-R beyond the tax benefit to support affordability and boost first-time buyer demand.

In January 2025, the company had also increased prices across its range by Rs 1,500 to Rs 32,500 depending on the model due to higher input and operational costs.
