Maruti Suzuki Cars to Become Costlier by up to Rs 32,500 from February 1

Maruti Suzuki, India’s largest carmaker, has announced a price hike across its model range starting February 1, 2025. The increase, which will go up to Rs 32,500 depending on the model and variant, is aimed at offsetting the rising input and production costs. This marks the latest adjustment in pricing by the automaker as it navigates inflationary pressures and higher material costs. While the exact increase will vary, customers can expect changes across popular models, including hatchbacks, sedans, and SUVs. Maruti Suzuki has assured that it remains committed to delivering value despite these necessary revisions. Prospective buyers looking to purchase a new Maruti Suzuki vehicle are encouraged to finalise their bookings before the price hike comes into effect.
