According to market guesstimates, the New Alto 800 is likely to be priced slightly higher than the already exiting Alto model. "The car is likely to be priced around Rs 3 lakh, however, there is no official confirmation on the same", said Yaresh Kothari, auto analyst with Angel Broking. He added that the company's strategy is aimed at boosting demand for the car during the festive season as the pre-launch bookings would raise the curiosity index among buyers.
It is learnt that Maruti has started to make deliveries of the car to its dealerships across the country.
Sales of the existing Alto dipped by around 35 per cent during the April to August period this year to 89,000 units.
Kothari says, "As the new car will be launched, as expected, there will be cannibalization among the two models. The company might adopt a strategy to phase out the old variant."
