Maruti Suzuki Upcoming Price Hike
In addition, Maruti has not said how much of a price increase will be implemented. However, the company has stated that the impending price increase is the result of cost pressure brought on by new regulatory requirements as well as general inflation. In a filling statement the brand said, "The company continues to witness increased cost pressure driven by overall inflation and recent regulatory requirements. While the company makes the maximum effort to reduce costs and partially offset the increase, it has become imperative to pass on some of the impacts through a price increase."
Currently, the Maruti Suzuki range has a starting price of Rs 3.39 lakh (ex-showroom) for the Alto and a top starting price of Rs 11.29 lakh (ex-showroom) for the XL6. With this, the brand's Grand Vitara has a top-selling price of Rs 19.49 lakh (ex-showroom). Each vehicle's starting price will increase as a result of the price increase coming in January.
The brand recently introduced the XL6 & Baleno CNG, which marked Nexa's entry into the CNG powertrain market. Additionally, the company introduced the Alto K10 CNG in its entry-level lineup for Rs. 5.94 lakh (ex-showroom).
Verdict: People who intend to purchase a Maruti Suzuki car in the new year may find their budgets affected by the upcoming price increase. If potential purchasers decide to buy before the price increase, the year-end discounts and current prices will help them get a decent bargain.
