Last year Maruti had sold just about 2 , 500 cars to consumers who happened to be employees of central government. Mayank Pareek , Sales Executive Officer Maruti Suzuki said that "Now we are extending the scheme to those who work with public sector undertakings besides state government employees. We are shortly launching special packages for ONGC , which is one of the largest institutional customers."

This is a great news. In a country like India where the government jobs were never favored as it paid them low, this would bring a great revolution in the job market. The things would change completely.
