Maruti’s shares gained 1 % after announcing the price hike and currently trades for INR 7,947.60, up 1.5 % or INR 117. It has witnessed an intraday high of INR 7,990.30 and a low of INR 7,835.00, and it has witnessed a 52-week high of INR 8,329 and a 52-week low of INR 4,001.10.

The reason for the hike is the same as other manufacturers. Increased prices of raw manufacturing materials have a direct effect on the total cost and hence, the price hike. Maruti Suzuki’s range starts from as low as INR 2.96 lakhs for the base variant of the Alto and goes all the way up to INR 11.53 lakhs for the top trim of the XL6 ( all prices, ex-showroom ).

The S-Presso will cost you an extra INR 7,000 henceforth. The Maruti Suzuki Wagon-R will cost you an extra between INR 2,500 all the way up to INR 18,200, depending on the trim level you opt for.

Maruti Suzuki had discontinued diesel engines into the BS6 era. But, with a good demand for diesels still in play, Maruti is likely to introduce its 1.5L diesel again. Adding to that, it is going to unveil the facelifted Swift soon, which has spied testing. Also spied testing is the Celerio which will seemingly receive an update very soon.
