According to the article, this decision was made because India’s largest automobile manufacturer, Maruti, is looking to upgrade its product lines in order to bring them in line with green standards established by the Indian government.

“Within the next ten years, we will complete the conversion of all cars. There will be no automobiles that run solely on fuel. According to CV Raman, Maruti’s chief technology officer, “they will either be electrified or driven by CNG or bio-fuels.” This information was provided to the publication.

A request for a comment from Reuters regarding the report was not immediately met with a response from the company.
