Maruti Suzuki Cars Set To Get Costlier In Third Quarter Of 2021

The past several months were quite tough for the Indian market as the nation was struggling with the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. Although the automotive industry has resumed its sales and plant operations, the market is yet to recover from the impact of the lockdown. In such a situation, now the country's largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki has announced that it will increase the prices of its entire line-up in the third quarter (between July and September) of 2021. The carmaker has cited rising input costs as the reason behind it.
