BS VI phase 2: Hyundai joins peers, bids farewell to diesel engine sedans

India's second-largest carmaker, Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL), has decided to stop offering diesel engines in its sedans, The Economic Times (ET) reported. The decision comes at a time when more and more customers in the passenger car segment are choosing to buy petrol vehicles.
