Maruti Suzuki Eyes Small Car Price Hike; Decision Soon Amidst Booking Rush

• Maruti Suzuki is considering raising prices for its entry-level cars after significant strategic price cuts last year.
• Last year's cuts, following GST 2.0, included up to ₹1.29 lakh on S-Presso and ₹1.07 lakh on Alto K10 to boost affordability.
• The company is evaluating whether to revert to prices reflecting only lower GST or maintain deeper discounts, with a decision expected soon.
• Pending customer bookings and waiting periods exceeding 1.5 months for mini cars are influencing the decision.
• Separately, Maruti Suzuki achieved its highest-ever annual exports in 2025, shipping 3.95 lakh vehicles and becoming India's top PV exporter.
