Maruti Suzuki India Limited will raise prices on certain models by up to ₹20,000, effective September 2026. The automaker cited continuous sustained increases in input costs and elevated inflationary burdens as the primary drivers for the revision.

Context behind the hike

In its exchange filing dated September 7, 2026, Maruti Suzuki noted that it had been making continuous efforts to mitigate cost impacts through internal cost reduction measures over the past few months. However, with the adverse cost environment enduring, the company stated it is constrained to pass on a portion of the increased costs to the market.

The company emphasized that it aims to keep the impact on customers to the minimum extent possible. Sanjeev Grover, Executive Officer & Company Secretary, signed the intimation sent to the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and BSE Limited.
