Consumer court directs Maruti Grand Vitara replacement over E20 fuel dispute
The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission of Raipur ordered Maruti Suzuki to replace Dr. Premraj Debta's Grand Vitara due to damages linked to E20 fuel. The court mandated the automaker to provide a new, E20-compatible vehicle within 45 days or reimburse ₹20.50 lakh, alongside ₹1 lakh for mental harassment and ₹10,000 for litigation fees. The ruling stems from the car's repeated engine issues attributed to E20 fuel, which Maruti failed to address adequately.
