Maruti Suzuki India (MSI), the country's largest car maker, today increased the prices of its various models, including its latest A-Star, between Rs 5,000 and Rs 10,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi).
"The price increase has been necessitated due to the increase in input costs and foreign currency changes," the company said in a statement.
The company has withdrawn the introductory price of its global small car A-Star, which was launched in November last year, and all variants of the model would be costlier by Rs 10,000, it added.
The prices of different petrol and diesel variants of the premium hatchback Swift has been hiked by Rs 5,000-Rs 6,000, while all variants of the mid-size sedan Swift DZiRE would be expensive by Rs 7,000.
MSI has also increased the prices of all variants of its sedan SX4 by Rs 9,000.
The company, however, did not alter the prices of M800, Alto, WagonR, Zen Estilo, Versa, Grand Vitara, Omni and Gypsy, the statement said.
