India's leading automobile manufacturer, Maruti Suzuki, is poised to raise the prices of its passenger vehicles starting April 8. This upcoming price increase marks the third adjustment by the company in 2025, following two prior hikes in January and February of this year. The price adjustments for various models will range from ₹2,500 to ₹62,500. Earlier, the company had announced a price increase of up to ₹32,500 for several models effective February 1.

Maruti Suzuki disclosed this latest price hike last month, attributing the decision to factors such as escalating input costs, rising operational expenses, changes in regulations, and the addition of new features. In a regulatory filing, the company emphasized its commitment to cost optimization and minimizing the impact on customers, but acknowledged the necessity of passing some of the increased costs onto the market.
