Maruti Suzuki India on Monday (March 17, 2025) said it will hike vehicle prices by up to 4% from April in order to offset the impact of rising input costs.
In light of rising input costs and operational expenses, the company has planned to increase the prices of its cars from April, the country’s largest carmaker said in a regulatory filing. The price increase is expected to be up to 4% and will vary depending on the model, it added.

While the company continuously strives to optimise costs and minimise the impact on its customers, some portion of the increased cost may need to be passed on to the market, it noted.

Why are too few Indians buying the small car?
The Maruti 800 captured the country’s imagination in the 1980s; words of admiration flowed, noting that for Indian roads and requirements, a car of that size was ideal. It ruled the roost. Other brands like Hyundai’s Santro also enjoyed success. But now, why is the small car segment, once the mainstay of the entire market, struggling to grow in India?
