Mumbai, Jul 3: Maruti Suzuki is planning to introduce diesel version of its 800 cc model in India.
According to a media report, the company is working overtime on developing a small two-cylinder 800cc diesel engine along with its parent Suzuki Motor Corp in Japan.
The all-new diesel engine is likely to punch 40 horsepower and may deliver fuel efficiency of 25-30 kilometres to a litre.
According to conservative estimates, it will be ready for a rollout by 2015 in India.
The engine is likely to power the next generation A-Star, or globally Alto, which has not made a major inroad into the country.
