The Palio with a 1.3L multijet diesel engine is all ready to be launched in March, most probably around March 11th. The CEO of Fiat India Automobiles Rajeev Kapoor said, “We expect the number of Palios to grow once we launch the diesel variant with the trademark Fiat engine.”
The car will be manufactured out of Ranjangaon plant which has a capacity to produce about 1.60 lakh cars. This plant, apart from Palio’s production, will see the production of Grande Punto, Linea and Tata Indigo.
