Maruti Suzuki's E20 Dispute: A Test of Accountability in India's Auto Sector A recent court order has directed Maruti Suzuki and its Raipur dealer to replace a Grand Vitara Strong Hybrid with a new E20 compatible vehicle, sparking a heated debate about accountability in India's auto sector.
At the heart of this dispute is a seemingly straightforward issue of fuel compatibility.
The case revolves around Dr Premraj Devta, a 41 year old kidney specialist who bought his Grand Vitara Strong Hybrid in June 2024 for Rs 18. 29 lakh.
