Diesel vehicles have been the preferred option for Indian car buyers for decades due to their torque, power and fuel efficiency. However, people’s preferences are changing due to stricter emission rules, the ban on 10-year-old diesel cars, and better mileage of petrol motors. Companies like Maruti Suzuki and Honda have removed diesel engines from their product portfolio.
