Maruti Announces Another Price Hike – Up To Rs 20,000 From Sep 2026

Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) has announced another price hike across select models, which will come into effect in September 2026. Prices will increase by up to Rs 20,000, with the company attributing the revision to a sustained increase in input costs.

This is the latest in a series of price revisions announced by Maruti Suzuki in recent months. The exact increase will vary depending on the model and variant, and the maximum Rs 20,000 hike will not apply uniformly across the portfolio.

Rising Input Costs Behind Latest Hike

In its regulatory filing, Maruti Suzuki said it has been dealing with a sustained increase in input costs. The company cited elevated inflationary pressures and an adverse cost environment as reasons behind the latest revision.

Maruti Suzuki says it has been implementing cost-reduction measures over the past few months to absorb the impact as much as possible. However, with cost pressures continuing, the company has decided to pass on a portion of the additional expenses to customers.

Third Price Hike In Recent Months

September’s revision follows two price increases announced earlier in FY26. Maruti Suzuki increased prices by up to Rs 30,000 in June, followed by another hike of up to Rs 30,000 in August. However, these maximum figures should not be added together to determine how much individual Maruti cars have become costlier. Each revision can vary depending on the model and variant affected.

Model-Wise New Prices Awaited

Maruti Suzuki currently has one of the widest passenger vehicle portfolios in India, spanning entry-level hatchbacks to SUVs and MPVs. The impact of the September revision will become clearer once updated model and variant-wise prices are available.

Repeated price revisions allow manufacturers to gradually pass on rising costs instead of implementing a significantly larger increase at one time. For buyers, however, multiple hikes within a relatively short period can steadily push up the acquisition cost of a new vehicle.

Maruti Suzuki’s latest announcement confirms that cost pressures continue to affect vehicle pricing. The company says it will continue its efforts to minimise the impact on customers while passing on a portion of the increased costs through the September price revision.
