"....The automaker will also bring in the diesel version of the Beat later this year, Mr Slym said, adding the lastest offering from the company's stable will be manufactured at its Talegaon plant in Maharashtra, where it has commenced second shift operations.
''In the diesel version, we will use the brand new diesel engine produced at our powertrain facility at Talegaon,'' Mr Slym said. ......... Payal (January 05, 2010)
