India's largest car maker Maruti Udyog Limited (MUL) drove up to share the top ranking with Honda SIEL Cars India (HSCI) in the JD Power India Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) for the year 2000, while the home grown TELCO was ranked lowest in the index.

While Maruti improved its ranking by three index points to take the top slot, Honda SIEL's CSI score has declined by six points, a statement issued in New Delhi said on Monday.
''MUL improves consistently and it is the only manufacturer to have remained above the industry average since 1997,'' Mr Chris Bonsi, Director of JD Power Asia Pacific, said.
