Following the government’s announcement of the addition of new taxes in the automotive sector, many automakers have announced a hike in prices of their offerings to shift the impact of the new taxes onto customers. Maruti Suzuki is among those to raise prices across board except for the Ciaz and Ertiga SHVS.
