Maruti Suzuki Price Hike: India's largest carmaker to increase vehicle prices by up to Rs 62,000 on April 8

Maruti Suzuki India, India's largest carmaker, announced that it will hike the prices of its passenger vehicles (PVs) by up to Rs 62,000 on April 8, 2025.

"Due to rising input costs, operational expenses, regulatory changes and feature additions, the Company has planned to increase car prices starting on 8th April, 2025. While the Company is committed to optimise costs and reduce the impact on its customers, the Company is constrained to pass on some of the increased expenses to the market," Maruti Suzuki said in a stock market disclosure.

Here is the list of car models with increased prices:

Grand Vitara: Up to Rs 62,000
Eeco: Up to Rs 22,500
Wagon-R: Up to Rs 14,000
Ertiga: Up to Rs 12,500
XL6: Up to Rs 12,500
Dzire Tour S:  Up to Rs 3,000
Fronx: Up to Rs 2,500

Other automakers like Hyundai Motor India, Tata Motors, Mahindra and Mahindra, and Kia India already announced last month that they will increase the prices of their cars in April 2025.
