I have noticed this on all the SX4s. It was the same on all demo cars too and all the cars that i checked at rohan motors.
I went to Rohan Motors in Noida to get clarification. They too were quite perplexed and could not provide me with a solution. I even spoke to the territory service manager of Maruti, who too, was absolutely clueless.
I know little about directional tyres, so I am posting photos of tyres on both the sides of my car. Do advice.

THis is the image of the tyre on the driver-side. If you notice the wall of the tyre in this image, the directional marks are in reverse and so are the treads.

This is the image of the tyre on the passenger-side-front. The treads on this one are in the correct direction and so is the mark on the tyre wall.


No problem your tyres are fitted fine. They are not or do not seem to be unidirectional

Cheers
