Developing Diesel Engines in India

Finally Maruti (MSIL) is planning to do what it supposed to do decades back - manufacturing engines.

According to ET report, "Maruti Suzuki is exploring...plan to build its own family of diesel engines, to power vehicles across segments. So far, Maruti has been relying on Italian carmaker Fiats 1-3 multi-jet-diesel engines...diesel engines will be developed with key inputs from its Indian subsidiary's R&D... at Rohtak in Haryana”.

It’s already late for Indian companies to focus on critical technology sectors like engine etc.

The problem is Maruthi is currently a subsidiary of Suzuki, so to what extend that engine will be developed in India is yet to see.
