Maruti Suzuki holds price line, targets 2.9m-unit capacity by FY27
Maruti Suzuki says large price hikes over the West Asia war would be shortsighted, opting to absorb much of the cost pressure as it works through a roughly 130,000-vehicle backlog. The automaker plans to add 500,000 units of annual capacity by end-FY27, targeting 4.4 million units by FY33.
Maruti Suzuki will absorb most West Asia cost escalation rather than fully raise prices, while clearing a 130,000-vehicle order backlog. It is expanding output to 2.9 million units by FY27, investing Rs 500 crore in biogas pilots, and targets 4.8 lakh European exports.
Why this matters
The pricing stance follows Maruti Suzuki’s small-car revival, which lifted Q1 passenger-vehicle share to 41.2%, and comes as India passenger-vehicle dispatches hit a record 469,000 in July, up 34%, while carmakers selectively pass through commodity costs.
