Maruti Suzuki, country’s largest vehicle maker is likely to set up its first own diesel engine plant at Gurgaon facility, which will ready by the second half of next fiscal. The plant will have an initial annual capacity of 1.5 lakh engine and expected to meet the sudden increased demand for diesel cars which has arisen because of the cheaper price of diesel versus petrol.

The company aims investment of Rs 1,000 crore for a new diesel engine plant for a capacity of one lakh engines. Currently, Maruti itself has a plant for only petrol engines, while the diesel engines are supplied by allied company, Suzuki Powertrain India.

Recently, Maruti has also tied up with Fiat India for diesel engine supply. Fiat, whose 1.3-litre diesel engine Suzuki Powertrain itself makes under licence, is supplying an additional one lakh engines a year to Maruti for a three-year period.
