Maruti Suzuki will increase the prices of vehicles again in August.

The country's largest car manufacturer Maruti Suzuki is going to once again increase the prices of its entire model range of cars from August 2026. The company has said in the information given to the stock exchange that due to the continuous increase in input costs, the prices of cars will be increased by ₹ 30,000. This increase will vary according to the model.

This is Maruti's second biggest price hike this year. Even in June 2026, the company had increased the prices by ₹ 30,000. The company says that the pressure of rising raw material prices and inflation has been absorbed as much as possible through internal efforts, but now it has become necessary to partially transfer it to the customers. Maruti has tried to ensure that it has minimal impact on customers.

price hike details

Maruti Suzuki will increase the prices of all its models from entry-level S-Presso to premium MPV Invicto from August 2026. The amount of the increase will vary depending on the model and can go up to a maximum of ₹30,000. The company has clarified that this decision has been taken in view of the continuously increasing input costs.

Main reasons behind the increase

According to the company, pressure on raw materials, commodity prices and inflation have made the cost environment unfavourable. Following the ongoing conflict in West Asia, commodity prices rose, which impacted input costs. Maruti has adopted internal measures to reduce costs over the past several months, but now due to limited scope, a partial increase in prices has become inevitable.

Increase for the second time this year

This is not the first time that Maruti has increased prices this year. After the announcement in May 2026, the price increase of up to ₹ 30,000 was implemented from June itself. Even at that time, the reasons cited were rising input costs and inflation. This increase in August is the second portfolio-wide price revision of the company.

What effect on sales?

Despite the price hike, Maruti sales have remained stable in recent months. In June 2026, the company sold 2,00,390 units, of which 1,50,150 units were in the domestic market and 42,768 units were exported. In May 2026, the company had made its all-time monthly record. 2,42,688 units were sold, of which domestic retail sales were 1,93,535 units.

Mahindra has increased the prices of vehicles.

Mahindra has increased the prices of its popular SUV range by an average of 2.7 percent. This change has become effective from July 10, 2026. The company has attributed this to the increase in commodity costs. Models like Thar, Scorpio Classic, XUV 3XO, XUV 7XO have become expensive, while the prices of Scorpio N have not changed. In the EV segment, only the price of XEV 9S has increased.

This is the second biggest price hike of the year after 2.5% increase in April. Mahindra itself bore a large part of the increased costs in the last few months, but has now decided to pass on some of the burden to customers. Due to this, buyers will have to take a quick decision before purchasing a new vehicle. Bolero has seen the highest increase of ₹ 49,000 on the base variant. The starting price of XEV 9S has increased by ₹ 70,000.

Why did prices increase?

Mahindra clarified that rising commodity prices are the main reason. This has become a common problem in the auto industry. The company said that the amount of increase will vary on different models. An average increase of 2.7% has been implemented in the SUV portfolio and 2% in commercial vehicles. Know the affected models and new prices-

  • XUV 3XO: Rs 7.79 – 15.04 lakh (earlier Rs 7.54 – 14.89)
  • Bolero: 8.49 – 9.99 lakh (earlier 8 – 9.91)
  • Bolero Neo: Rs 8.99 – 12.49 lakh (earlier Rs 8.85 – 12)

There has also been no increase in the prices of XUV 3XO EV, BE 6 and XEV 9e.

advice for customers

For customers who have booked or taken delivery before July 10, the old prices will be applicable. New buyers may have to face additional expenses. Despite Mahindra's strong sales momentum (Scorpio, Thar, XUV series), this increase is a necessary step to save margins. If you want to buy a Mahindra vehicle, then check the updated price from the dealership before making the deal.
