Maruti reduces price by up to Rs5,000

India's biggest car maker Maruti Suzuki has reduced the price of its products by up to Rs 5,000 following increased tax sops offered by Haryana, where its facilities are located.

"We have passed on the benefit of the reduction in sales tax by Haryana from 3 per cent to 2 per cent effective April 1 to dealers, who in turn have passed it on to customers," a company official said.

The reduced sales tax would translate to a price cut in the range of Rs3,000 - Rs5,000 across various models, the official added. Haryana had in the beginning of the month reduced sales tax from 3 per cent to 2 per cent coinciding with the reduction in central sales tax from 4 per cent to 3 per cent.
