The company wanted to increase the prices only last year
Shashank Srivastava, executive director of sales and marketing, Maruti Suzuki India, said the rules regarding BS-VI emission norms have come into force since April last year. Because of this many types of costs have been added to the car's manufacturing. We had also considered raising the price last year, but the market situation was not good last year. Now the cost of raw materials, especially steel, plastics and expensive metals has gone up significantly. "

In January this year, the car became expensive by Rs 34,000.
On January 18, Maruti Suzuki India increased the price of its cars by up to Rs 34,000. At that time almost all companies had increased their prices. Even then the company had said that the prices of raw materials would increase. However, Maruti has raised prices for the second time in a span of 3 months.
