</p><p>&nbsp; Last year in December highest legal house, Supreme Court, had issued an order of banning the registration of diesel vehicles over 2000cc engine capacity in national capital. Initially it was meant to last only for 4 months i.e till 31st March, 2016, but lately it has come to a point of indefinite ban on big diesel vehicles which seems to be catching up in other states also. Though the court is been approached to lift the ban against the environment tax but no confirmation has been reached nor does it look like coming in near future due to which major manufacturers like <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Brand/Mahindra">Mahindra</a></u>, <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Brand/Mercedes-Benz">Mercedes-Benz</a></u>, <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Brand/Toyota">Toyota</a></u> and many have suffered. Mahindra was able to overcome the barrier by introduction of 1.99L diesel engines, and now after almost a year Mercedes-Benz is getting ready to take matters in its own hand to jump obstacles by introducing petrol engine line up across all variants. The German giant has shown many indications over the past regarding introduction of petrol iterations of all the models in its Indian line-up by as early as September this year. Though the company is still optimistic about diesel ban getting lifted through one solution or the other sooner or later.</p><p>&nbsp; Mr. Roland Folger, Managing Director and CEO, Mercedes-Benz India, said, "We will be compete with petrol engines in September. Then we will have basically a petrol variant in each of our car-lines available. It was a decision we made in the middle of last year." He went on to add, "Ten years ago roughly we had only petrol engines so it's not that unusual for us. It gives customer a choice, it is not so much about new segment really."</p><p>&nbsp; Though yet no light has been thrown upon engine specifications, power and torque nor the transmission box. So we have to wait until things unwrap themselves but this move shows Mercedes-Benz's commitment towards India which are following Audi very closely to be top seller of premium car in the nation. Mercedes-Benz has also recently halted their investment in India following unpredictable polices and bans in major centers.</p><p></p>
