Actually i do not think this is the end of the road for the trusted war-horse Amby. Its just that the government has approved the purchase of Accent for governmental usage. Already Lancers, Indigos (petrols) are some of the cars which are approved vehicles for governmental procurement. Accent just joined that list. Thats about it.

In government procurements any order can only be placed to a listed vendor and approved products. So this small GO probably means only that the Accent is also available now as an option in the catalog while placing the order for the next department car. That however does not mean the Ambys go out.

In fact knowing the way things perform in the governmental departments for regular procurements the Accent will still be a tough ask because it will cost more than the Ambys. And most departments work on fixed budgets.
