Maruti’s announcement to discontinue all its diesel engines in the BS6 era post-April 2020 carried one simple loophole -- if there is a public demand, they’ll bring it back. Though the carmaker has not deviated from its announcement to discontinue diesel models altogether in the BS6 era, it seems larger models could continue to get a diesel engine. As a camouflaged version of Maruti’s MPV had been spied testing a BS6-compliant diesel engine. The spied Ertiga featured the DDiS diesel badge and it also had a sticker indicating that it was running a BS6 emissions test.
