Maruti Suzuki has hiked the prices of its diesel models, including Swift hatchback and Dzire sedan, by up to `10,000 to offset rising input costs and appreciating yen.
“The price increment will happen with immediate effect,” a company spokesperson said.
While the Ritz small car will be dearer by `2,000, the price increment on the Swift, SX4 and Dzire will be `10,000.
The spokesperson said that the yen had appreciated by 20% over the last two quarters. “Also, there has been a lot of pressure due to rising input costs.”
