Meanwhile the company said on Wednesday it lowered prices of some cars, making it one of the first major companies to respond to the government's move to cut corporate taxes in a bid to revive economic growth.

The company cut prices on 10 different models by 5,000, representing discounts of just about 1% or less on average car prices. The price cuts start on Wednesday.

This comes as the domestic automobile industry faces a crippling slowdown in demand that has led to production cuts and thousands of job losses.

Maruti said the move was aimed at reviving demand by sharing "the benefits of corporate tax reduction with its customers".

The price cuts will kick in just ahead of the festive season, and Maruti said it hoped the move would help entice entry-level customers.
