Maruti Suzuki has announced yet another price hike of up to Rs 30,000 across its vehicle range. To be effective from August 2026, this will be the second round of price increases by Maruti Suzuki in a short time. The carmaker had implemented a similar hike of up to Rs 30,000 in June.
- This will be Maruti’s third price hike in 2026
- Rising input costs and commodity inflation cited as reasons
In a regulatory filing with the stock exchanges, the company cited persistent commodity inflation and rising input costs as the primary drivers behind the adjustment. The automaker stated it attempted to absorb cost increases through internal efficiency measures and cost-reduction initiatives. However, sustained pressure on operating margins necessitated “passing a fraction of the cost burden on to the market”.
Even while announcing its previous revision in June, Maruti Suzuki had attributed the decision to a sustained rise in input costs and elevated inflationary pressures.
The exact price adjustment will vary depending on the specific model and variant. The upcoming August price adjustment follows a pattern of broader industry price revisions aimed at managing raw material volatility, with Mahindra, BYD and Tata Motors, among others, announcing price hikes in recent weeks.
