Tata to introduce sub-2 litre diesel engine

Earlier this year, the Supreme Court of India enforced a ban on the registration of cars that have diesel engines displacing 2,000cc or above, until March 31, 2016, in Delhi. To keep sales in the Delhi and NCR regions going, Mahindra introduced a 1.99L mHawk diesel engine in the Scorpio and XUV500 in January 2016. Now, Tata Motors is expected to introduce a sub-2 litre diesel engine in order to prevent the loss of sales in Delhi. 

Tata currently uses a 2,179cc engine in models like the Xenon, Safari Dicor, Safari Storme and Aria. It also has a 2,956cc engine in the Sumo Gold. Tata will be making modifications in its engine line-up, and the 2.2L engine is suspect number one. It remains to be seen how the tweaks will affect the displacement and output figures.
