Prices of cars to rise: Maruti Suzuki plans to increase 4 % from April 2025

Maruti Suzuki, the largest passenger car manufacturer in India, is scheduled to increase its car rates by up to 4 % from April 2025. The price amendment comes in response to the costs of escalating inputs and operation.

The high prices will vary through different models, which reflects the company’s efforts to manage costs with the balance of customers’ effect.

In an organizational file, Maruti Suzuki said, “In light of the high costs of inputs and operational expenditures, the company planned to increase its cars prices as of April 2025.”

The company has approved the challenges of maintaining cost efficiency while some increasing expenses will be transferred to consumers. This strategic step aims to reduce the financial pressure facing the company due to inflationary trends and high logistical expenses.

Maruti Suzuki has constantly modified the pricing strategy in recent months. A similar rise in prices was implemented in January 2025, with increases up to 32,500 rupees last December. This pattern reflects the broader conflicts in the automotive industry with cost pressure. The company is still committed to reducing the effect of customers, although some cost burden will be transferred to the market.

After announcing the high prices, the company’s share price witnessed an increase of approximately 2 %.

In February 2025, Maruti Suzuki Fronx appeared as the best car in India, with Brezza, Wagonr and Swift also in sales prominently. During this month, Maruti Suzuki achieved a marginal growth of 0.97 % in total sales, reaching 199,400 units compared to the previous year. Decreased exports by 13.5 % on an annual basis with some local sales gains.

The increase in the upcoming prices, Maruti Suzuki’s strategy, highlights the current economic climate while maintaining a competitive advantage in the market. With the continued increase in operational costs, the company makes tactical adjustments to maintain the growth path.
