Hyundai India has stopped accepting bookings for the diesel variants of the Grand i10 Nios and the Aura, thereby indicating that the diesel option might be officially discontinued soon. The petrol and CNG variant options continue to be offered in both models. Low demand for the diesel option in these models might be one of the reasons behind this latest development. The company is yet to make an official announcement in this regard.
