Marker leader Maruti Suzuki India on Wednesday announced that it will increase prices of various models by Rs 2,500-62,000, from April 8, the second hike this year after increasing by up to Rs 32,500 across various models from February 1. Similarly, BMW Group India has already increased by 3 per cent on select models from this month. Hyundai, Tata Motors, Kia India and Honda Cars have also announced plans to hike vehicle prices starting in April. "The price increase is purely on account of input costs of regulatory changes and that too a partial passing on of such costs," a spokesperson of Maruti Suzuki India said when asked why the company is hiking prices at a time when the overall passenger vehicle market is sluggish.
