It will bring the curtains down on its once bread-and-butter car Maruti 800 from April. India's largest carmaker has no plans to upgrade its lowest- priced Maruti 800 model to meet Euro IV emissions standards. Sales of the model would be discontinued in 13 cities from April. The cities where BSIV norms will set in from April 2010 are Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Kanpur, Ahmedabad, Surat and Agra.
