Maruti Suzuki has announced a price hike across its entire vehicle lineup, effective April 8, 2025, with increases of up to ₹62,000 due to rising input costs, regulatory changes, and new features.

Maruti Suzuki Implements Price Hike Across Models

India’s largest car manufacturer, Maruti Suzuki, has announced an increase in car prices across its entire portfolio, effective from April 8, 2025.

The price hike, attributed to higher input costs, operational expenses, regulatory updates, and the introduction of new features, will impact a range of models, from entry-level sedans to SUVs and multipurpose vehicles.

In a regulatory filing on April 3, 2025, Maruti Suzuki stated that the company has been striving to optimize costs but has found it necessary to pass on some of the rising expenses to customers.

Model-Wise Price Hike Breakdown

The extent of the price increase varies by model. Below is a breakdown of the price adjustments across different Maruti Suzuki vehicles:

  • Fronx (Compact SUV): ₹2,500 increase
  • Dzire Tour S (Entry-Level Sedan): ₹3,000 increase
  • Ertiga & XL6 (Multipurpose Vehicles): ₹12,500 increase
  • WagonR (Top-Selling Car in 2024): ₹14,000 increase
  • Eeco (Van): ₹22,500 increase
  • Grand Vitara (SUV): ₹62,000 increase (highest hike)

Maruti Suzuki’s Market Strategy

This announcement comes after the automaker had previously indicated a potential price hike of up to 4% starting in April. The revised pricing structure aims to accommodate higher production and compliance costs while maintaining competitive market positioning.

Maruti Suzuki’s Share Price Performance

Maruti Suzuki India’s share price traded at ₹11,783.25 as of 11:33 AM on April 3, 2025, reflecting a 0.57% gain (₹67.15) from its previous close of ₹11,716.10. The stock opened at ₹11,630.50 and reached an intraday high of ₹11,796.95, while the lowest recorded price was ₹11,611.05.
