Are diesels vanishing?

Hello guys! Welcome to CarsReboot!  Today we're gonna discuss a new topic which is based on increasing petrol engines and decreasing diesel engines.

Currently in India, automobile companies are bringing more and more petrols and in parallel, some companies are bringing diesels also which are either less powerful than the petrols or sometimes no diesel engine at all.

Why is this happening? 

In India, diesel and petrol prices were getting hikes on a daily basis and if this continues, someday we might see them at nearly 90 - 100 Rs/lit which I'm not at all exaggerating by any means because everyone can see the truth on their screens itself while on the otherhand, companies are bringing their BS6 petrol engines which some companies are able to maintain mileage of the vehicle more or less the same compared to the previous versions while some companies aren't able to manage this and are resulting in big decrease in mileage which is ranging from 2 - 5 kmpl. If this kind of situation continues, once again the low sales could hit automobile market and might result in sales drop again and the sales could experience a dip. 

You might get a thought like "Why would people stop purchasing vehicles if the companies reduce diesels?". I have an answer for that too. 

In this situation, companies are neither bringing more EVs nor providing us with higher mileage vehicles compared to the BS4 ones which could let down the interest of some buyers and apart from that companies like Maruti Suzuki, Toyota, VW group and other luxury brands gradually eliminating diesels from the list and replacing a lesser cc petrol engines with higher tuning tricks could work temporarily but in the long run, they could loose the customers which no company wants to happen at any point of time.

There's a solid reason for companies to kill diesels gradually because they pollute the environment much than what petrol engines do and this is not a good sign for sure but taking this as chance and increasing both fuels prices substancially isn't a good thing to do despite the huge drop of demand for fuel in the overseas markets. So, I hope the companies will find a proper solution regarding this. They must either completely bring an EV revolution or should handle the fuel prices and engine pollution that's happening due to the diesels.

For this, I don't say that companies shouldn't release petrols at all but if they wish to bring EVs in full swing, they must build infrastructure and must put their maximum effort in bringing more useful and feature rich vehicles in all segments which will take sometime. So, companies must perform their part of effort to bring the fuel prices down so that they can experience the sales increase because everytime people or customers aren't the only ones who should demand the govt to reduce the prices to some extent as the prices have seen a significant increase which isn't good for companies regarding their sales.

To conclude, a solution for this is that they must either bring the EV revolution sooner or its going to be another crisis which'll hit the market if this situation continues. Why I am emphasizing more on diesels is because comparably there are high preferred engines than petrol powered ones in a market like India where people require mileage to save their hard earned money, use them as taxies, travelling distances and so on. 

So, companies must either try to decrease the fuel prices or increase better mileage providing and less polluting diesel engines so that the patch of pollution can be handled for sometime but it might not be the permanent solution either. There is a small one and i.e, Bio-Diesel which comprises of less chemical composition compared to the original diesel we're extracting from the crude oil we get. So, companies and govt must work in parallel to find a proper balance between pollution and fuel prices so that it'll be beneficial for both, else customers will create a crisis in sales for automobile companies which could result in sales dip.

Thank you for reading this post till the end and what do you think about the fuel hike and decrease in diesel engines? Do you think the sales will improve or fall down?
