CNG vehicle sales surged nearly 50% to 550,812 units from January to September 2024, capturing 17% of the passenger vehicle market. The rise is attributed to lower ownership costs, enhanced performance, and an expanding network of over 7,000 gas dispensing stations, set to reach 17,500 by 2030. Notably, CNG adoption in sedans has jumped from 10.8% to 41.5% in five years, while petrol variant sales have declined.
