Hence, it has become imperative for the company to pass on some impact of the above additional cost to customers through a price rise,” Maruti Suzuki India said in a regulatory filing.
The company did not reveal the quantum of the proposed price hike.
The price rise has been planned in the second quarter (July-September period) of the current financial year and the increase shall vary for different models, the company added.
