“The price increase is to partially cover rising input costs,” a spokesman told Reuters.

Maruti last raised prices in late January, by up to 2.4% across most models.

The company had reported an 18% decline in third quarter net profit as higher royalty payouts and rising input costs weighed on margins.

Last week, Maruti reported car sales rose 28.2% in March.

Rival Tata Motors also raised prices on some of its passenger and utility vehicles from 1 April.
