Maruti Car Price Increase
This is the third time Maruti Suzuki has increased prices since May. Back in June, they had already hiked prices by up to Rs. 30,000. Then in August, the prices of all their passenger vehicles went up. However, the company says this new September hike will only apply to certain models, not the entire range.

Reason for Maruti Car Price Hike
The company explained that manufacturing costs are going up because of pricier raw materials. On top of that, inflation and higher global transport and fuel costs are also hitting their budget. Experts also say that tensions in the Middle East are creating more pressure on global supply chains, which in turn affects the auto industry.

Maruti Suzuki stated that even with rising production costs, it has been trying to absorb most of the impact itself, instead of passing it all on to customers. But with costs continuing to climb, they can no longer manage the entire burden. So, they have decided to share a part of this increased cost with buyers, which is why prices for some models will go up from September.
