They’ve gone! Hyundai Motors India has discontinued the diesel variants of Grand i10 Nios and Aura due to poor demand. Bookings for the same have also been stopped. However, interested customers can still contact their nearest Hyundai dealerships if they have any stock to clear and avail some dealer-specific benefits.
