On Monday, the biggest automaker in India, Maruti Suzuki, revealed intentions to raise its car pricing by as much as 4% beginning in April 2025. The company’s primary justifications for the decision were growing operational and input costs. The company stated in a statement that the price increase’s magnitude would differ based on the model. A portion of the higher costs will have to be passed on to the market, the manufacturer said, despite its efforts to minimize the impact on consumers and optimize costs. This action was taken while the car industry was still dealing with rising raw material costs, inflationary pressures, and increased logistics costs.
