Maruti Suzuki has implemented a GST 2.0-based revision of the price for the Baleno. This means that any benefit accruing out of taxes will be directly passed on to buyers on all variants of its cars. This basically
happens due to a revamp in GST 2.0, wherein various slabs within small-car categories have been tinkered with. The update by Maruti reduces prices per variant, delivering the highest relief available at the top trims. This makes Baleno an even more aggressively positioned offering within the premium hatchback space with revised ex-showroom rates at dealerships across the country.

What GST 2.0 Changed
Under GST 2.0, certain sub-4-metre petrol cars and engine categories fall under the newly introduced 18% tax slab, replacing the old combined structure of GST plus cess, thereby reducing the tax burden on models like the Baleno which fall under this category, hence manufacturers are adjusting their retail prices. Therefore, Maruti has updated its official variant pricing to reflect this change, which became effective from the very day GST was implemented.
