If you are planning to buy a new Maruti Suzuki car, now you will have to empty your pocket more. The country’s largest car manufacturer Maruti Suzuki India has announced a price hike for its various models. This new price increase will be applicable from August 2026, depending on the model of the cars, the prices will increase up to a maximum of Rs 30,000.
What is the main reason behind the price hike??
According to the company, the decision has been taken due to the continuous increase in raw material, production and other input costs. Over the past few months several measures have been taken to control costs at the internal level; However, it has been explained that as the company found it difficult to bear this heavy burden of rising inflation and costs alone, it was finally forced to pass some of it on to the consumers.

This is the second hike in 2026
Interestingly, this is the second price hike for Maruti Suzuki this year. Earlier also in June 2026, the company had increased the prices of the cars to Rs 30 thousand. At the time, global developments, geopolitical tensions and rising prices of raw materials were attributed to the rise in inflationary pressures. The company currently sells a range of vehicles, from the entry-level ‘S-Presso’ to the premium ‘Invicto’ MPV, and the company says it is trying to minimize the impact of the decision on customers.
