From the recent developments in the Indian Auto Industry, Its hinting that there would be no more new diesel engines for India from global mass players?
SCOOP! VW Group to discontinue 1.5 litre diesel by 2020
Fiat’s 1.3 Multijet diesel to bow out by end of decade
Auto industry gears up for government’s EV push
Hyundai Motors to Build EV Assembly Plant in India
In the new scenario I don't think MSIL would go further with their speculated 1.5 diesel engine for 2019 , it would be easier for them to use either the 1.5 D4D from Toyota-their new partner or the 1.5 RevoTorq from Tata Motors .
The Fiat Multijet 2.0, Tata Motors 1.5 RevoTorq and the Hyundai's would be last set of Diesel Engines we are going to enjoy it seems ! Sad .
SCOOP! VW Group to discontinue 1.5 litre diesel by 2020
The VW Group’s 1.5-litre diesel engine will be yet another casualty of the stringent BS-VI emission norms that'll come into effect by April 1, 2020. Sources within the VW Group have confirmed that EA189 diesel will not be upgraded to BS-VI standards and hence production will stop with the implementation of the new norms.
Fiat’s ubiquitous 1.3-litre diesel engine will be discontinued in India with the incoming of new Bharat Stage VI (BS-VI) emission regulations in 2020, as there are no plans to upgrade the engine to comply with the new norms.
NEW DELHI, SEPT 11:
India's aggressive push to electrify all new vehicles by 2030 is compelling auto part manufacturers and carmakers to draw up early plans for electrification, company executives said. A new auto policy is in the works and will include a roadmap for electric vehicles, a government official said, adding that this is likely to be made public before year-end.
Engine-maker Cummins India is investing in research on electric mobility solutions for India, while Hyundai Motor Co has begun talks with some of its suppliers for components for electric cars, company executives said. Ashok Leyland, which launched an electric bus last year, has partnered with Indian start-up SUN Mobility to develop battery-swapping technology for cars, buses and trucks. “This is going to be a major challenge but it is one we have to embrace and not duck,” Anant Talaulicar, managing director, Cummins India said.

Hyundai Motor Company is planning to set up an electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing plant in India in the latter half of 2018. The plant is expected to be a complete knock down (CKD) assembly plant.
The Indian government is planning to ban the sale of non-EVs by 2030. At the same time, it is going to build 1,000 EV charging stations in Delhi. Under the circumstances, a number of automakers are increasing their investment in the Indian EV market. For example, Tata Motors is preparing to release the Tiago EV and Mahindra & Mahindra is planning to invest US$94 million for EV development. Toyota and Suzuki are looking to build a lithium ion battery manufacturing plant in India, too.
