Maruti Suzuki has announced a price hike for its cars, effective June 1, 2026. Depending on the model, prices will rise by a maximum of Rs 30,000. The main reasons behind the price hike, as cited by the automaker, include a steady rise in input costs and strong inflationary pressures. In April 2026, Maruti had highlighted the need to pass on cost pressures to customers.
The automaker was considering raising prices in January 2026 but didn’t go through with it due to a strong growth in sales of its small cars. Therefore, Partho Banerjee, senior executive officer for marketing and sales at Maruti Suzuki, stated that the brand was extending its “strategic pricing” until further notice. The decision was taken “keeping in mind the first-time buyers,” according to Banerjee.
Maruti Suzuki stated that it has been absorbing the continued increase in input costs by optimising efficiency within the company. However, mounting costs have necessitated passing on a portion of the burden to customers while keeping the impact minimal, the automaker said. Even though Maruti has not provided the exact model-wise breakdown for the upcoming price hike, regulatory filings show that it will be capped at Rs 30,000. MG Motor and Tata Motors hiked prices in April, with Hyundai following suit in May. Meanwhile, BYD will raise prices by up to 2 percent in July 2026.
