New Delhi: Maruti Suzuki India has announced price hikes across its vehicle lineup, with prices set to increase by up to Rs 30,000 from June 2026. The country’s biggest carmaker noted rising input costs and continued inflationary pressures as the main reasons behind this price revision. 

In its communication sent to dealers and stakeholders, the automaker said the increase has become necessary despite ongoing efforts to control costs through internal efficiency measures and operational optimisation. As per the brand, the exact hike will vary depending on the model and variant. Maruti Suzuki has not yet given a revised price list. The latest revision reflects the broader pressure currently faced by the automotive industry. 

Manufacturers continue to deal with higher commodity prices, increased logistics expenses and rising operational costs, all of which have significantly impacted production economics over the past year. Maruti Suzuki stated that it had been absorbing a large portion of the increased costs internally over recent months. However, with raw material and supply-chain expenses remaining elevated, the company has now decided to pass on part of the burden to customers.

Auto industry’s big players have already hiked prices

The move also comes amid a wider trend across the industry, with multiple automakers announcing price hikes in recent months. The likes of Mahindra, JSW MG, Hyundai, and BYD had announced price hikes in the previous months. Audi, BMW and Mercedes had all announced price hikes back in March itself. Previously, even Maruti had warned of price hikes if the global situation didn’t improve for its functioning.  

Surge in costs of steel, aluminium, plastics, electronics and transportation continues to affect vehicle manufacturing across segments.

For buyers planning to purchase a new Maruti Suzuki vehicle, the announcement makes for a limited window before revised pricing takes effect in June. It is expected that more brands will announce a small price hike in the coming weeks. Last year GST relaxations had seen a price drop in the automotive market, which saw the second half of 2025 have a better sales performance in the industry.
