Maruti Suzuki to challenge consumer court order to replace 'non-E20 compatible' Grand Vitara
A Raipur consumer court directed Maruti Suzuki to replace a Grand Vitara Strong Hybrid deemed non-E20 compatible, plus a ₹20.5 lakh refund, ₹1 lakh compensation and ₹10,000 costs. The carmaker will appeal, insisting the vehicle was E20-ready and blaming fuel contamination amid India's ethanol blending push.
