Planning to Buy a Maruti Suzuki? Prices to Rise by Up to ₹30,000 From August… Here’s why

If you’re planning to purchase a Maruti Suzuki car, it may be worth finalising your booking soon. Maruti Suzuki India, the country’s largest passenger vehicle manufacturer, has announced a fresh price hike of up to ₹30,000 across its passenger vehicle range, effective August 2026.

This marks the second price revision by the automaker this year. Earlier, the company announced a similar increase of up to ₹30,000 in May 2026, which came into effect from June.

Why are Maruti Suzuki cars becoming more expensive?

According to the company, the latest price increase is being driven by a sustained rise in manufacturing and input costs.

Automakers have been grappling with higher prices of essential raw materials such as steel, copper, aluminium, and rubber, all of which have touched their highest levels in the past 12 months.

Apart from raw material inflation, rising logistics expenses and the depreciation of the Indian Rupee have further increased production costs, prompting manufacturers to revise vehicle prices.

While Maruti Suzuki has attempted to absorb a significant portion of these additional expenses, the company said that a partial pass-through to customers has now become unavoidable.

Second price hike in 2026

The upcoming revision is the second increase introduced by Maruti Suzuki this year.

The previous hike, announced in May 2026, was also attributed to inflationary pressures and higher input costs. With commodity prices continuing to remain elevated, the company has once again decided to adjust vehicle prices across its passenger vehicle portfolio.

The exact increase will vary depending on the model and variant, with the maximum hike going up to ₹30,000.

Industry-wide trend

Maruti Suzuki is not the only automobile manufacturer to revise prices in 2026.

Several mass-market brands, including Tata Motors, Mahindra, Hyundai, Kia, and MG Motor, have already increased the prices of their passenger vehicles twice this year due to similar cost pressures.

Luxury carmakers have also followed suit. Brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi have announced price revisions across their respective model lineups in the Indian market.

Should buyers purchase before August?

For prospective buyers, the announcement means that purchasing a Maruti Suzuki vehicle before the revised prices come into effect could result in savings of up to ₹30,000, depending on the chosen model and variant.

Customers planning to buy popular models such as the Swift, Baleno, Brezza, Fronx, Grand Vitara, Ertiga, or WagonR may consider checking with dealerships regarding current pricing and delivery timelines before the August revision takes effect.
