Tata Motors, India’s leading automobile manufacturer, has made CNG vehicles more desirable and practical with its twin-cylinder technology. The company’s commitment to sustainability and recognition of the growing popularity of CNG vehicles in the country has led to a significant surge in the CNG segment, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 35% over three years and a YoY growth rate of 52%.
The Indian market now boasts a diverse range of CNG models, with approximately 17-18 variants available across different body types and price points. The proliferation of CNG refueling stations across the nation has also played a significant role, with states like Haryana, Delhi, Gujarat, and Maharashtra embracing CNG vehicles, leading to deep market penetration.
Tata Motors has adopted a multi-powertrain strategy, addressing stringent emission requirements and CAFÉ norms. The company has introduced CNG options for its Tigor and Tiago models, which constitute nearly 40% of sales in their respective families. Industry experts anticipate a shift towards 20-25% by the end of the decade due to CNG’s eco-friendly nature.
