Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) has clocked cumulative sales of five-lakh BSVI compliant vehicles in mass cars ahead of the mandated timeline.
The company is offering 10 models with BSVI compliant petrol engines with an intention to provide new technology to customers, the company said in a statement.
"This achievement reaffirms the growth potential of new engines and technologies in India. Early introduction of the BSVI compliant engine in our popular models represents our commitment to government's vision for clean and green environment," said Mr Kenichi Ayukawa, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, MSIL.
In April 2019, Maruti Suzuki launched its first BSVI compliant petrol car, a full year in-advance from the mandatory deadline, he said.
Presently, the Maruti Suzuki BSVI compliant petrol models portfolio consist of Alto, Eeco, S-Presso, Celerio, WagonR, Swift, Baleno, Dzire, Ertiga and XL6, contributing nearly 75 per cent of the Company’s petrol volumes, MSIL said.
Effective April 1, when the mandatory emission norms get implemented, Indian automakers will only be able to sell BS6 complaint vehicles.
