- Milestone was achieved in six months
- Eight BS-VI compliant models are currently offered by the brand
Maruti Suzuki India Limited has set a new milestone with the sales of over 2 lakh BS-VI compliant vehicles. The sales milestone has been achieved within six months of launching the first BS-VI compliant vehicle by the brand.
Maruti Suzuki launched its BS-VI range with Alto 800 and Baleno in April 2019, almost one year before the government stipulated timeline of April 2020. The complete range of Maruti Suzuki BS-VI compliant petrol models currently includes the Alto 800, Baleno, WagonR (1.2L), Swift, Dzire, Ertiga, XL6 and the S-Presso.
Commenting on the occasion, Kenichi Ayukawa, Managing Director and CEO, Maruti Suzuki India, said, “We thank customers who have opted for our BS-VI range of vehicles. We believe that mass adoption is one of the most important factors for success of any new technology. Offering eight BS-VI compliant petrol vehicles in the mass segment, much ahead of timeline, has helped us to reach this technology to a larger customer base. Early introduction of the BS-VI range represents our commitment to Government of India’s vision for clean and green environment.”
