  • During Monday's trading session, the BSE Sensex fell 0.6% while Maruti Suzuki shares rose 0.6%. The Company stated it is "constrained to pass on a portion of the increased costs to the market."
  • Maruti Suzuki India Managing Director and CEO Hisashi Takeuchi emphasized deeper localization at the 66th ACMA Annual Session. Takeuchi noted that cost is no longer the only factor shaping global supply chains.
  • The new pricing applies only to select models across the Arena and Nexa ranges. The automaker continues cost reduction efforts while specific vehicles remain unspecified.
