Maruti Suzuki India Ltd.

Maruti Suzuki has increased prices across its car range by up to Rs 9,000 to offset the cost of higher raw material prices. Effective from Monday, the highest price increase of 2.4 per cent (Rs 9,000) will be on the Swift Dzire diesel. The higher selling models like the WagonR and the Alto, however, will only become dearer by Rs 1,100.

This price revision comes on the heels of a similar move by the market leader this January, when prices went up by as much as Rs 10,000. While steel prices have gone up in the last eight months, rubber prices have doubled; copper has gone up by 19 per cent and precious metals 16-20 per cent.crackcrack
