These Indian cites Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Kanpur, Hyderabad, Pune, Ahmedabad, Surat and Agra will come under in BSIV from April 2010.Other cities will come under BSIII norms, to make it possible for the company to sell the cars. However, around 2015-2016, these would also come under BSIV norms, which would finally mean phase out of the two models.
The company has a whole lot of small cars – M-800, WagonR, Alto, Estilo, A-Star, Ritz and Swift, is now looking to reduce the number of its vehicle platforms. This will mean phasing out of some products that don’t meet production standards and norms.
The decline of the car started with the introduction of the Santro’s and the Alto’s. From then on, the car became the choice of only the first time buyer and further…with the prices falling and the ‘Nano promises’ the company had no option but to stop the production.
