Maruti Suzuki has announced to modify all its car models which will also include the Maruti 800 and the Omni to meet the Bharat Stage IV emission norms.

It was already known that Maruti Suzuki India was scouting for engineers and technocrats to help Maruti develop as an independent entity.

The Indian car manufacturer Maruti Suzuki was anticipated to exceed three to five per cent growth figures for this fiscal.

India’s largest car manufacturer Maruti Suzuki expects the new government to continue support to the badly hit car industry. Managing Director and CEO of Maruti Suzuki India, Mr. Shinzo Nakanishi said, "Last December the government cut excise duty and froze petrol prices, and also cut interest rates. Those steps helped the auto industry.”
