Maruti 800 to disappear from 11 cities next year

Maruti 800 to disappear from 11 cities next year

Maruti Suzuki India has announced that they would stop selling their low cost Maruti 800 model in as many as 11 cities from next year.

These include the four metro cities in the country.

This is primarily because of the tightening emission norms that would be applicable soon.

Maruti said: “We will not be selling the M800 and Omni vans in the 11 major cities where BSIV norms set in from next year. However, this in no way means that we will discontinue or phase out the models, as these would continue to be sold in other cities and towns where BSIII norms would be applicable.”

The cities where it would not sell from next year are:

Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Kanpur, Ahmedabad, Surat and Agra.

It would still sell in rest of India because the tougher emission norms would not be applicable in those regions.
