In view of the increasing demand for the diesel variants in its models, the company is rising the engine capacity by one lakh units as part of its Rs 90 billion expansion plan. After this move, the capacity for diesel engine will be moved up to 0.3 million units by March 2010. The capacity expansion is aimed to reduce the long waiting period on its diesel models. Maruti also expect to divert some of its export capacity in diesel engines for the dohi hamestic market. These engines used to earlier be exported to Hungary, but the demand in that market has reduced now.
