Gypsy sales to stop in NCR, new van by Oct

NEW DELHI, August 1: Maruti Udyog Limited has decided not to resume sales of its Gypsy in the National Capital Region (NCR) this fiscal.

The decision was taken in view of the low sales figure for the vehicle and the tremendous cost involved in making it Euro-I compliant, senior company officers said.

Efforts are on to introduce the new Omni van conforming to Euro-I norms by October this year, officers added. Registration and sales of Gypsy and Omni have been restricted in the NCR since June 1 following a blanket ban by the Supreme Court on sale of vehicles not conforming to Euro-I norms.
