AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

In May 2026 the Indian passenger‑vehicle (PV) market showed surprising resilience, with four of the six top manufacturers—who together account for about 94 % of domestic PV volumes—recording double‑digit year‑on‑year growth despite price pressures from higher raw‑material costs tied to the West‑Asia crisis and a mid‑month fuel‑price hike. Maruti Suzuki led the surge with a 40 % increase, Tata Motors posted a 42 % rise, while Mahindra and Kia grew 11 % and 24 % respectively, indicating that consumer demand remains robust. Maruti’s senior executive Partho Banerjee highlighted a new all‑time monthly sales record, noting a 57 % jump in SUV sales and an unprecedented CNG‑vehicle volume of nearly 78,000 units, suggesting the sector has so far weathered the recent challenges.

Times of India | Maruti Suzuki to increase car prices from this date: Here's by how much

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Maruti Suzuki India announced that it will raise the prices of all its models by up to Rs 30,000, with the new rates taking effect from June 2026. The company said the increase varies by model and is needed to offset rising input costs, inflationary pressures and a challenging cost environment that recent cost‑cutting measures could not fully absorb. While Maruti Suzuki had not revised prices earlier, its hike follows similar 0.5‑2.5 % price revisions announced in FY 2027 by rivals such as Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra and Hyundai Motor India. The automaker sells its vehicles through two retail networks—Arena for mass‑market models (Alto K10, S‑Presso, Celerio, Wagon R, Eeco, Swift, Dzire, Ertiga, Brezza, Victoris) and Nexa for premium and utility vehicles (Baleno, Fronx, Grand Vitara, Jimny, XL6, Invicto, and the new e‑Vitara electric SUV)—and said it will continue to minimise the impact on customers while maintaining its presence in the EV space.
