Two of India’s leading automobile manufacturers, Tata Motors and Maruti Suzuki, have announced price increases across their vehicle ranges effective April 1, 2025, citing rising input costs as the primary reason.
The shares of Tata Motors Limited closed at ₹660.10 up by ₹4.60 or 0.70 per cent on the NSE today and those of Maruti Suzuki India Limited ended at ₹11,531.35 up by ₹17.55 or 0.15 per cent.
Tata Motors, India’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, will implement a price increase of up to 2 per cent across its commercial vehicle lineup. The announcement came through a press release issued from Mumbai on March 17, 2025.
On the same day, Maruti Suzuki India Limited informed about its planned price hike of up to 4 per cent on its cars. Maruti Suzuki stated that while the company “continuously strives to optimize costs and minimize the impact on its customers, some portion of the increased cost may need to be passed on to the market.”
Both companies indicated that the price adjustments would vary depending on individual models and variants. These announcements come at a time when automakers are facing pressure from increased operational expenses and input costs.
Tata Motors, part of the $165 billion Tata group, maintains leadership in India’s commercial vehicle segment, while Maruti Suzuki continues to be a dominant player in the passenger car market. These price revisions could signal similar moves by other manufacturers in the coming weeks.
