Amidst the rising petrol and diesel prices, CNG prices are still reasonably less. So, we prepare a list of CNG cars in India which will help your pockets.
The petrol and diesel prices are rising day by day. Recently, petrol touched a record high of Rs 80.59 per litre and diesel went up to Rs 72.83 per litre in Delhi NCR. With these skyrocketing prices, it is getting difficult for a middle-class man to afford taking out his car everyday to office. While the blame game is happening between Modi Government and the Opposition, we are just mere spectators. Over the past 7-8 years, the use of CNG has increased tremendously. Many private owners and a huge number of taxis have adapted to the cheaper alternative. Today, the CNG rate in Delhi is Rs 40.51 per kg. It is nearly half the price of petrol.

First, let me explain the working of CNG. CNG cars also require petrol. Basically, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) does not have that much power for the initial torque and ignition. For that, it relies on petrol. Petrol does the ignition work and initial torque support. Once it reaches the perfect stage, CNG takes over. However, the use of petrol in CNG cars is minimal and a full tank of petrol with CNG would last for 2 months easily.
1. Maruti Suzuki Alto 800
The first car on the CNG cars list is the entry level Maruti hatchback. The estimated mileage of Alto 800 CNG is around 35 km/kg. The power figures decrease gradually, but it is easy on the pocket. The Alto 800 delivers around 45 BHP of power and 60 Nm of torque. It comes in two variants – Alto 800 LXI CNG and LXI (O) CNG. The LXI is priced at Rs 3.77 Lakhs and the LXI (O) retails at Rs 3.83 Lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi).

Now, let’s switch over to the other brand. Along with Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai also offers CNG on its three models. The first one in the lineup is the Hyundai Eon. Now, Hyundai offers manufacturer certified CNG kits, but they are fitted by dealers. The good thing about Hyundai CNG kits is that they can be equipped with any high or low variant.

It comes with the same engine specs as the Grand i10. The 1.2 Litre Kappa petrol engine produces 70 BHP of power and 100 Nm of torque. Like the i10, this also gives an estimated mileage of 25 kg/km.
