Home-grown auto major Mahindra and Mahindra today announced the launch of its all-new 1.99-litre mHawk diesel engine in India. The new mHawk engine will now power the New Generation Scorpio and the New Age XUV500, which will be made available for Mahindra's customers in Delhi and NCR. This apparently is Mahindra's strategy to tackle the recent ban on registration of diesel vehicles with 2000cc engines or above in the aforementioned regions.

Last month, the Supreme Court had announced its decision to ban registration of diesel vehicle with engine displacement of 2000cc (2.0-Litre) or above. The three-month suspension on registration of cars and SUVS with diesel engines over 2-litre capacity covers only the National Capital Region, including Delhi and neighbouring satellite cities. This ruling took a major hit on luxury car manufacturers and SUV makers in India like Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and of course Mahindra and Mahindra, who are the largest SUV manufacturer in the country.

The Supreme Court order has impacted M&M the most since its best-selling products - Scorpio, Bolero, XUV 500 and even the Thar - are all powered by diesel engines larger than 2.0-litres. In fact there were speculations in the market that Mahindra is planning to bring in a 1.9-litre engine for its SUVs in Delhi and NCR. According to recent reports, a prototype of the new Scorpio with the 1.99-litre engine has already been approved by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), and is expected to reach dealerships soon.
