If you've been thinking about buying a Maruti — Swift, Brezza, Ertiga, anything — August is the cut-off date to know. Maruti is hiking prices across models by up to ₹30,000 to cover rising raw material costs. On a car priced at ₹8–12 lakh, that's roughly a 0.25–0.35% increase — not huge, but real.
What this means for you
- If your purchase is planned for August or later, you'll pay more — the hike is confirmed, not rumoured.
- Financing that ₹30,000 extra over 7 years at 9% adds roughly ₹450–500 to your monthly EMI — small per month, but over ₹38,000 in extra interest across the loan.
- If you weren't already planning to buy, a price hike alone isn't a reason to rush into a big purchase.
What you can do
- If you're 80–90% decided, visit your Maruti dealer this month — booking before August locks in today's price.
- If you're still on the fence, don't let ₹30,000 push you into a ₹10 lakh decision you're not ready for.
A price hike is worth acting on only if the car already made sense for your budget — not because of the deadline.
