MUMBAI - Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, India's top car maker, said on Wednesday it will raise prices of some vehicles by 2-3 percent in January because of higher raw-material costs.
Maruti, a unit of Japan's Suzuki Motor Corp, will raise prices by 4,000-12,000 rupees, a spokesman said.
The company's models include the Alto and Swift hatchback. It started a scheduled plant shutdown for maintenance on Sunday, and will resume production on Jan. 2, the spokesman said.
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, India's top utility vehicle maker, said last week it would raise prices of its utility vehicles by up to 10,000 rupees per vehicle from Jan. 1 on account of higher raw-material costs.
Indian vehicle makers have traditionally raised prices in January, after the festival season when they often offer discounts and other incentives to boost sales.
