Nitin Gadkari Confirms New Maruti Suzuki Flex Fuel Vehicle to Launch on June 5
Maruti Suzuki to introduce new flex-fuel vehicles on June 5, 2026 The company could launch Fronx flex-fuel 12 companies are also preparing flex-fuel vehicles
India’s Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, has announced that Maruti Suzuki will launch a flex fuel capable vehicle in Delhi on the occasion of Environment Day, that’s June 5th, 2026. We expect that Maruti Suzuki could introduce the Fronx flex-fuel vehicle, which was unveiled at the 2025 Japan Mobility Show.
Maruti E100 Flex Fuel
The upcoming Maruti Suzuki Flex Fuel vehicle will be the country’s first 4-wheeler to run on a combination of fuels with blends of up to E100 (Ethanol 100%) with specially designed fuel storage, delivery and ignition systems. The Flex Fuel version of the Suzuki Fronx, showcased at the Japan Mobility Show 2025 in Tokyo, was capable of running fuel blends of up to E85 (85% Ethanol) and not E100.
The Fronx Flex Fuel vehicle is expected to receive changes to make it E100 compliant. Ethanol has a higher tendency to retain moisture compared to regular refined unleaded gasoline. The crossover will have specially designed fuel systems and engine components.
Nitin Gadkari Official Statement
Speaking at an event in Nagpur, Maharashtra, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, said, "Our biggest pollution problem is fossil fuels... petrol and diesel. That is why, as the Transport Minister, I am happy that we have introduced electric scooters, electric cars, electric buses, electric trucks, and now even electric tractors in the country. Not only this, but our farmers have now become energy providers and fuel providers for the nation. The vehicle in which I arrived today is an runs 100% on bioethanol. Ethanol is priced at Rs 65 per litre, and while running, the vehicle also generates 60% electricity. I have been using this vehicle for the last one and a half years. Compared to petrol and diesel, the effective fuel cost comes to around Rs 25 per litre. This is import substitute, cost-effective, pollution-free, and indigenous. Vehicles with such flex-fuel engines are going to be introduced on a large scale soon. On the occasion of Environment Day this year, there is a programme in Delhi where Maruti Suzuki will launch vehicles running 100% on ethanol.
At present, companies such as Toyota, Tata, Mahindra, and Suzuki... a total of 12 companies have already introduced such vehicles. Our two-wheelers have also arrived. We should minimise the use of petrol, diesel, and gas because 87% of these fuels are imported into our country. They not only cause pollution but also increase imports.”
