Maruti Suzuki, India’s leading carmaker, has announced a price hike across its vehicle lineup starting February 1, 2025. The hike, driven by rising input and operational costs, ranges from Rs 1,500 to Rs 32,500 depending on the model. The Celerio sees the steepest increase of Rs 32,500, while models like Ciaz and Jimny have minimal hikes of Rs 1,500.
