In addition to the GST hike, the government has enacted a new Climate Support Levy (CSL) that ranges from 1-3%, but in Alto and Every case, they’ll get a 1% Climate Support Levy. This tax aims to curb pollution from internal combustion engines (ICE), encouraging consumers toward greener, more sustainable transport options like all-electric vehicles.

With the new GST and CSL now in effect, Suzuki Alto buyers might face an immediate price hike ranging between Rs. 167,861 to Rs. 186,446,  and for Every, it’ll be 163,230 to 166,198 depending on the specific variant. This increase includes both the raised GST rate and the newly implemented CSL.

However, it’s important to note that these figures are only estimates. It is entirely possible that Suzuki may absorb a portion of the increase, passing on only some of the cost to customers. The final pricing decision rests solely with the company, and these calculations are meant to provide a tentative idea of the maximum possible impact if the entire tax burden is transferred to the buyer.
