Maruti Suzuki Hikes Vehicle Prices
The company continues to witness increased cost pressure driven by overall inflation and regulatory requirements.

The company continues to witness increased cost pressure driven by overall inflation and regulatory requirements, the automaker had stated.
While the company makes maximum effort to reduce cost and partially offset the increase, it has become imperative to pass on some of the impact through a price increase, it had said.
Already several automakers, including Honda Cars, Tata Motors and Hero MotoCorp, have announced increase in prices from April.
From April 1, vehicles will need to have an on-board self-diagnostic device to monitor the real-time driving emission levels, conforming to the stricter emission norms.
