Maruti Suzuki Select Models To Get Costlier By Rs 62,000; Effective April 8
A price rise of up to Rs 62,000 has been announced by Maruti Suzuki for a number of models. Effective April 8, the price increase is limited to a few models and does not apply to the entire range. The best-selling Maruti Suzuki model for FY25, the Wagon R, would see a price increase of up to Rs 14,000 among other Maruti Suzuki models.
Models like the Grand Vitara, Eeco, Wagon R, Ertiga, XL6, Dzire Tour S, and Fronx would cost more, according to a Maruti Suzuki release. The Fronx would have the smallest price increase of Rs 2,500 among the models named, while the Grand Vitara would get the largest, at Rs 62,000. Here is a comprehensive list.

Maruti Suzuki clarified that although it has worked to minimize manufacturing costs and lessen the financial strain on customers, it is forced to transfer some of these costs onto the market due to the ongoing rise in the cost of raw materials and transportation.
Inflationary pressures have had a major impact on supply chains and production processes in the automotive industry. The cost of production has increased due to the rising prices of steel, aluminum, and other necessary materials.
This will be Maruti Suzuki’s third price change in a short period of time. The firm raised pricing for all of its models by up to 4% in January 2025. Subsequently, several models became more expensive by Rs 1,500 to Rs 32,500 in February. Potential car buyers will face even more financial burden as a result of the impending hike in April.

To prevent the price increases, those who intend to acquire a Maruti Suzuki car might want to think about doing so before April. Regular price increases may result in lower demand for the vehicle industry, particularly from price-sensitive markets. Nonetheless, Maruti Suzuki continues to dominate the market because of the reputation for dependability and affordability of its automobiles. Customers may have to pay more, but demand may remain steady due to the brand’s value proposition and robust resale market.
According to Maruti Suzuki, there are a number of reasons behind the increase. “The company has planned to increase car prices starting on 8 April 2025 due to rising input costs, operational expenses, regulatory changes, and feature additions,” Maruti Suzuki said in a statement. The company is unable to pass on some of the higher costs to the market, despite its dedication to cost optimization and minimizing the impact on its clients.
