“We wish to inform you that over the past year the cost of the company's vehicles continues to be adversely impacted due to an increase in various input costs. Hence, it has become imperative to pass on some impact of the additional cost to the customers through a price rise,” Maruti Suzuki India (MSIL) said in a stock exchange filing.
“The price rise has been planned across models in September 2021,” MSIL added. The company, however, did not specify the quantum of hike planned for next month. The hike will come just before the start of the festive season which kicks off with Ganesh Chaturthi on September 10.
