Tata Motors had displayed the Venture at the Auto Expo this year in New Delhi. The Venture is a seven-seater van which will be powered by a 1.4-litre diesel engine which churns out 70bhp and it is based on the Super Ace platform. This is the tried and tested engine that came strapped in the Tata Indica for many years.

Tata Motors, India’s biggest automobile manufacturer, on Friday, at a five year celebration for selling five lakh units of the Ace said that they planned to introduce the Venture in August 2010.

Maruti Suzuki won’t phase out the M800 and Omni models. Initially, the company had planned to phase out the two models in 2010 as Bharat Stage IV norms are to be implemented. Maruti is working on the powerplant of its two very old models.

Bharat Stage IV emission norms may be good for environment but they have proved fatal for Maruti 800 and Omni. Maruti Suzuki has no plans of making Euro IV compliant 800 and Omni because the company doesn't find the option worthwhile. This translates into discontinuation of Maruti 800 and Omni in 11 metros in 2010 (as BS IV norms come into effect in these cities) and in 2016 in entire India.

Maruti Suzuki’s sales grew up by 24% in February 2009 as compared to the February 2008. The company sold 79,190 units (including exports) compared to 63,822 units sold last February.
