Maruti diverts Delhi-marked cars to other markets to maintain salesStung by the Supreme Court order on emission norms, Maruti Udyog Limited is despatching more vehicles to markets outside the National Capital Region to ensure that sales do not suffer a setback. Maruti has already stopped deliveries to dealers in the NCR and is using these vehicles to meet the growing demand in other parts of the country, company sources said today. The company is also working closely with its 50 per cent owner Suzuki Motor Corporation to find a way out of the crisis arising out of the crisis. ''We have communicated details of the judgement to SMC officials and they are working to find a solution. We have not been able to come to any conclusion as yet,'' the sources added. The NCR accounts for about 23 per cent of the company's total sales and having to stop sales in the region would mean a major blow to its sales. The sources pointed out that all options are being explored to find a way out. ''Though Maruti cars do not meet the Euro-1 norms, they are not among the polluting vehicles. In fact, it is the two-and three-wheelers that are the major source of pollution. But we respect the Apex Court's order.'' UNI |
