At the same time, the price of Fronx has increased by ₹ 7,500 and the price of Jimny has increased by ₹ 15,000.

**What is the reason for increasing prices?**

The main reason for increasing prices may be the continuously increasing input costs. There is increasing pressure on the company's costs due to the cost of raw materials and other expenses incurred in manufacturing cars. The auto industry is also facing inflation, higher costs to logistics and production. As a result, car companies are changing prices from time to time to balance their costs and margins. The price increase will have a direct impact on the ex-showroom price of the car. This may also increase the on-road price, because apart from the ex-showroom price, the on-road price also includes RTO charges, insurance and other expenses. So, if the ex-showroom price of the car increases by a few thousand rupees, the total purchase price may also increase accordingly. For customers buying a car on loan, this may also impact the down payment and EMI. However, the actual difference will depend on the loan amount, down payment, loan tenure and interest rate.

**What does this mean for car buyers?**

If you were already planning to buy a Maruti car, now you may have to spend a little more. However, the price applicable at the time of booking and delivery may depend on the terms and conditions of the dealer and the pricing policy of the company at that time. Therefore, it is better to confirm the booking price, price applicable at the time of delivery and existing discounts from the dealer before purchasing the car.
