Maruti Suzuki to stop selling diesel cars from April next year

[Bapun]

Maruti Suzuki, the country’s largest vehicle manufacturer, today announced that it will stop manufacturing diesel vehicles from April 1, 2020 when the new BS 6 emission norms will be introduced. The high cost of upgrading existing diesel engines to the BS 6 norms propelled the company to take such a decision.

The company will try to focus on compressed natural gas (CNG) and hybrid technology driven vehicles to compensate the vacuum created by the phasing-out of diesel vehicles.

It's correct decision, they took. Bcz my opinion there is not a huge difference between the petrol and diesel. So I like it.

A step in the right direction to stop making diesel cars. And even better decision to focus on CNG and hybrid technology
