If you are planning to buy a new car of Maruti Suzuki in August, then definitely read this news first. The company has announced an increase in prices of its entire model range by up to ₹ 30,000. After all, what are the reasons for increasing prices, which models will be affected and is this the right time to buy? Read complete information in this report.
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.
