New Delhi
\nMaruti Suzuki India on Wednesday said it would hike prices of its vehicles across models this month to offset adverse impacts of rise in commodity costs, foreign exchange fluctuations and fuel price increases.<\/p>\n
The company, however, said it is currently working out the details of the quantum of price increase, which would vary depending on the model.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis question has been coming for quite some time. We have been analysing the adverse movement of commodity prices going towards the higher side,\u201d Maruti Suzuki India Senior Executive Director RS Kalsi told PTI.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cAlso, the foreign exchange rate has been impacting us adversely. The fuel prices too have increased, adding to the logistics costs.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe company cannot absorb the full impact any longer. So it is now imperative for us to pass on some impact of the above factors to the customers through a price increase. This will happen across the range of models in August itself,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
When asked about the quantum of hike, he said, \u201cWe are working on it. It will vary depending on the models.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stating that the company\u2019s finance team is currently working out the details, he said, \u201cIt is difficult to give any range of the price hike till the finance team finalises it. We are working on it and the moment we get clarity on it, we will hike the prices accordingly.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
