India’s largest carmaker has been ordered to replace a customer’s vehicle after he alleged it was incompatible with a now widely-adopted form of petrol, a landmark court ruling that has added to a growing row over the government’s fuel policy.
A consumer court in the central state of Chhattisgarh told Maruti Suzuki to give the owner, a doctor, a new Grand Vitara or pay him two million rupees (£17,300) in damages, according to Reuters, which reported the ruling this week. Maruti said it would appeal.
