NEW DELHI — Maruti Suzuki India Limited on Tuesday announced a portfolio-wide price hike of up to ₹30,000, effective August 2026. The price adjustment marks the carmaker’s second revision in 2026, coming just two months after a similar increase in June.
In a regulatory filing, the country’s largest passenger vehicle manufacturer stated that while it has continuously tried to absorb cost escalation through internal efficiency measures, lingering inflationary trends and an unfavorable cost environment made a partial pass-through necessary.
