Maruti Suzuki hikes prices of the Swift & CNG models

Prices of other models in Maruti's line-up will be increased in the near future.

Maruti Suzuki has increased the prices of its entire CNG range by up to Rs. 15,000. The carmaker has also hiked the prices of the Swift hatchback. The new prices will be applicable from July 12, 2021.

The carmaker announced the latest price hike in a regulatory filing. The company has also confirmed that other models in its line-up will also get a price hike in the near future. The quantum of the hike will be announced at a later date.

According to the company, prices have been increased due to a rise in input costs. Last month, Maruti Suzuki had stated that it had become imperative for the company to pass on some impact of the additional cost to customers. This is the third time Maruti Suzuki has hiked prices this year. Previously, prices were increased in the month of January and April.
