how many kms has your car done ??????
get the plugs checked ,air filter cleaned ,timing checked ...also check if you filling the right tire pressure.....

it also helps to gets the injectors cleaned every 15 k kms ...i get mine done once a year or every 10 k kmswhich ever is earlier ...

if the car has done 20 k+ kms ,maruti recommends decarbonising every 20 k kms ...

also try changing the fuel filling station ...
