Diesel Swift soon!

Carmaker Maruti is only two weeks away from entering the diesel passenger car segment; a segment that has captured more than 20% of the market. It will launch the diesel variant of the Swift, with a 75 BHP engine, reports CNBC-TV18.

The engine will be manufactured by Suzuki Powertrain India, in which Maruti holds a 30% stake. The engine manufacturer will also begin exporting diesel engines to Hungary from the middle of the year. By 2010, Maruti will invest Rs 2,500 crore in its diesel plant, which will manufacture 3 lakh cars.
