With carmakers across the country hiking prices following the introduction of 'infrastructure cess' in Budget 2016, buying a new car could be daunting. However, if it is a Maruti that you are interested in, the carmaker has worked out discounts that can be cashed in on select models. The offer comprises gift cheque discounts and exchange bonuses.

Maruti Alto

All variants of the Alto 800 are available at total discounts of up to Rs 55,000, while its more powerful sibling, the Alto K10 is on offer at a maximum discount of Rs 35,000.
