FAQ's

1. Is CNG better than petrol and diesel?

When burned, diesel and petrol emit black smoke filled with several toxic substances that pollute the environment. In contrast, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) burns without producing any smoke and doesn't release any harmful fumes. Thus, CNG does not contribute to air pollution and is naturally better than petrol and diesel.

2. What is the advantage of owning a CNG car?

In addition to being good for the environment and your car, CNG is a great fuel from a safety perspective. Accidental ignition or combustion is extremely improbable due to the high temperature needed for ignition and the narrow flammability range of CNG engines. In addition, compared to cars powered by other fuels, CNG vehicles have relatively low operating costs.

3. Which is the cheapest CNG car in India?

Currently, the Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 CNG is the cheapest CNG car in India, priced at 5.95 lahks (ex-showroom).
