Yes you still need to RUN-IN, its all right that all new engines now a days are made to run on TEST RIG for few hours, & then fitted on vehicle on assy. line. After that few more Kms are done on test track.
But that is not sufficient for parts to set into the right working tolerances. Always follow the owner's manual for Running-In Instructions.
Sometines there is a sticker provided on windshield(like TATA does), you can always stretch it out after oil change & service. why to take chances?
