Maruti Suzuki has confirmed that all of its cars will have six airbags. According to R.C. Bhargava, six airbags will be standard on all vehicles. Does this imply that Maruti Suzuki will raise prices once more? The cost of the vehicle typically increases as a result of equipment upgrades, including safety features.

The chairman of Maruti Suzuki went on to say that the expansion of the small car market is essential to revitalising the Indian auto industry. According to him, “12% of buyers can buy vehicles priced above Rs 12 lakh”, which is why the market is still quiet. Therefore, only this number is able to purchase cars.” Small cars have become expensive due to the high cost of regulatory measures,” as 88% of car purchasers are unable to purchase a vehicle for more than Rs 10 lakh. This explains the 9% drop in the compact car market”, Bhargava commented.
