Maruti Suzuki Hikes Car Prices By Up To Rs 30,000

India's largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki raised car prices across its Arena and Nexa lineup this month, the second price hike this year after a similar revision in June. The price hike by Maruti Suzuki varies by model and variant, ranging from Rs 2,500 to Rs 30,000 across the portfolio.

Rising input costs are the reason given for the latest revision in prices by Maruti Suzuki, similar to previous increases. Maruti Suzuki has worked to contain costs elsewhere, but a portion of the increase is now being passed on to buyers.
