Maruti has announced an increase in the prices of all its car models, including the popular entry-level Alto K10. Despite the hike, the car remains more affordable through the Canteen Stores Department (CSD), where it is particularly cheaper due to lower GST rates.
Key Highlights of the Price Increase:
- Variants Affected: The price increase includes Maruti’s entry-level model, the Alto K10.
- Ex-showroom Price Rise: The ex-showroom prices have seen an increment, affecting both the standard retail and CSD purchases.
- CSD Benefits: While standard showrooms charge a 28% GST, CSD outlets only impose a 14% GST. This substantial reduction makes the Alto K10 significantly more affordable for defense personnel purchasing through CSD.
