Automobile major Maruti Suzuki India on Wednesday said it would raise
prices of various models in January 2019 due to high commodity prices

The increase in prices would vary for different models, the company said in a regulatory filing to the BSE.
"Over
the past year, the cost of company's vehicles has been impacted
adversely due to increase in commodity prices and foreign exchange

some impact of the above additional cost to customers through a price
increase across various models in January 2019," the filing said.
