Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. says it will appeal a consumer court order that directs the company to replace a vehicle, citing alleged damage linked to ethanol-blended fuel. The company’s decision, reported by Bloomberg and the Financial Post, is framed as part of a broader and intensifying debate in India over the biofuels push and ethanol use in transportation fuel. The consumer case centers on the claim that the ethanol blend harmed the car, and the court’s remedy is to require replacement of the affected vehicle. Maruti is contesting that finding and the order itself, seeking to overturn or otherwise modify the ruling through the appeal process. The matter carries wider attention because Maruti is India’s largest carmaker, meaning any outcome could be closely watched by automakers, consumers, and policymakers as India continues expanding ethanol-related fuel policies. Both outlets describe Maruti’s intent to fight the order but do not add differing details about the vehicle, the specific ethanol blend, or the court’s reasoning beyond the allegation of ethanol-caused damage.
