They emit significantly less pollution, are quieter, and have lower running costs. CNG is readily available in most major cities, making it a convenient option for daily commutes and long-distance travel. Moreover, many automakers now offer CNG variants of their popular models, making accessing this eco-friendly fuel source easier. Although the initial cost of a CNG car may be slightly higher than a petrol or diesel vehicle, the long-term savings on fuel costs make it a more cost-effective option. Overall, a CNG car is a great choice if you are looking for an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to petrol and diesel cars. With its numerous benefits and increasing availability, it's worth considering as a viable option for your next vehicle. Automakers are expected to launch more CNG cars in 2023 as they are more economical for riders. In this post, we look at the CNG cars expected to launch in India in 2023. <h3>Tata Altroz CNG</h3>The Tata Altroz is a premium hatchback, and Tata plans to launch a CNG variant of the Altroz in August 2023. The Altroz shares the same engine as the Tata Tiago and Tigor. The Altroz CNG variant is expected to be launched with a manual transmission. <h3 style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:16pt;margin-bottom:4pt;">Hyundai i20 CNG</h3>The Hyundai i20 is one of the best-selling cars in its segment, and Hyundai is planning to introduce a CNG variant of the i20 to compete with the Glanza and Baleno, which already have CNG variants in the market. The i20 is expected to be launched with the same 1.2-liter engine as the Hyundai i10. <h3 style="line-height:1.56;background-color:#ffffff;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;padding:26pt 0pt 8pt 0pt;">Tata Nexon CNG</h3>Tata Motor’s popular SUV Nexon will also get a CNG variant in 2023. This will make it one of the few cars in the country to be available in petrol, diesel, electric, and CNG variants. The Tata Nexon CNG is expected to be equipped with a 1.2-liter engine. <h3 style="line-height:1.56;background-color:#ffffff;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;padding:26pt 0pt 8pt 0pt;">Tata Punch CNG</h3>Tata Punch, the company’s affordable SUV, is expected to get a CNG variant in 2023. The Tata Punch CNG is expected to have a 1.2-liter engine and a 5-speed manual gearbox. The car is expected to retain the same design as the petrol variant. <h3 style="line-height:1.56;background-color:#ffffff;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;padding:26pt 0pt 8pt 0pt;">Kia Sonet CNG</h3>Kia has been spotted testing the Sonet CNG, which features a design similar to its petrol variant. The car is expected to be launched in the second half of 2023 and is expected to be equipped with a 1-liter turbo petrol engine, which is expected to offer 118 bhp of power and 172 Nm of peak torque. We should know more about the car in the coming weeks.

Upcoming CNG cars in India in 2023

Cavelossim (Goa), Domestic passenger vehicles sales, specially those of SUVs, are expected to remain strong this fiscal despite the pent-up demand and low inventory which drove up sales in the past are no longer there, according to <keyword id="12985777" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tata-motors-passenger-vehicles-ltd-" source="Orion">Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd.</keyword> and <keyword id="12985776" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tata-passenger-electric-mobility-ltd-" source="Orion">Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd.</keyword> Managing Director <keyword id="1890649" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="shailesh-chandra" source="Orion">Shailesh Chandra</keyword>. The company, which sold around 50,000 units of electric passenger vehicles last year, is targeting to reach 1 lakh units this fiscal while it also targets deeper penetration of CNG with the launch of its Altroz iCNG premium hatchback. "So far the indicators are good in terms of demand sustaining at high levels, although the additional moves that we were getting from pent-up demand and low channel inventory that have subdued," <keyword id="796" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="chandra" source="Orion">Chandra</keyword> told PTI here. He was responding to a query on the outlook of passenger vehicles sales in India in 2023-24. In the last five to six months, Chandra said two factors -- pent-up demand and low channel inventory, were really driving the demand for the industry. "(Now) these two factors have gone but the key factor, which is the monthly demand that we generate, the flow of customers has sustained at a very healthy level, which is good enough to sustain a retail ability of about 3,10,000 a month (industry wise)," he added. Chandra further said, "Especially in the SUV segment, we are seeing a growth, which is significantly higher, as compared to where the industry growth will be. On the entry side, there has been a slight pressure that is what we see." The growth in the SUV segment has been driven at "a very high pace" by both upgraders and first time buyers opting for such vehicles, he added. In terms of volumes, he said, "Just two years back, we were talking about 2.7 million to 3 million (units for the) industry. It has gone up to 3.9 million (last year). Even if it sustains at a 4.1 million level (this year) it's very healthy, it should help the industry a lot." Chandra, however, added that the "unprecedented" growth of about 27 per cent that industry witnessed last year "will moderate a bit". For <keyword id="42747" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tata-motors" source="Orion">Tata Motors</keyword>, he said the idea would be to sustain the segments where it is present -- hatchback and sedans, "and new nameplate additions should come in the SUVs. That will be the focus". The company's share of SUVs to its total passenger vehicle sales is at around 66 per cent as compared to 43 per cent of the industry, he said, adding, it would grow even further with the launch of Curvv and Sierra, which would be launched in the market in 2024 and 2025, respectively. On electric vehicles, Chandra said Tata Motors has witnessed exponential growth in the last five years to 50,000 units last fiscal from around 500 units in FY19 "The growth journey has been exponential. Now we are on a higher base...the multiples might moderate from three-four times to lower levels, but of course the aspiration would be to be as close to 100,000 (units)," he noted. On the newly launched CNG version of the company's premium hatchback Altroz iCNG, he said the company has addressed one of the most important hurdles faced by CNG models, which is the compromise in the boot space due to the placement of the fuel cylinder, with its twin cylinder technology. Besides, the Altroz iCNG has been provided with good engine performance and premium features like voice command operated sunroof, he added When asked about sales expectations from the new car, he said Tata Motors experienced CNG penetration ranged anywhere between 30 per cent to 50 per cent in its two models Tiago and Tigor, which also have the twin cylinder technology. "Therefore, we expect that initially it might start with 30 per cent penetration and hopefully with greater awareness of this car (Altroz iCNG) being a no-compromise CNG car, as the awareness will increase, I think the demand will continue to grow," Chandra said.

Domestic passenger vehicles sales expected to stay strong this fiscal, says Tata Motors' Chandra

<ul><li>Robust demand for passenger vehicles is expected to continue driving <keyword id="46211" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="auto-sales" source="Orion">auto sales</keyword> in February. </li><li>This is despite a moderate drop in customer enquiries, according to analysts. </li><li>Electric vehicles in both the passenger vehicle and two-wheeler segments have caught the fancy of customers who are increasingly willing to accept the higher upfront costs in lieu of lower maintenance and operational costs. </li><li>Sales of entry-level cars and two-wheelers are likely to be subdued in February largely due to a weak rural recovery and inflation woes. </li></ul>A robust demand for passenger vehicles (PVs) is expected to boost India’s auto sales numbers for the month of February, as per analysts. This is despite a moderate drop in customer enquiries across carmakers, especially at a time when companies are transitioning to the second phase of BS VI emission norms (also known as BS6 Phase 2). According to analysts at Motilal Oswal, although retail volumes are expected to slow down in February when compared to January, a marriage season in the northern markets and a healthy uptick in urban markets are expected to drive a 10-12% year-on-year growth in the retail segment for the month. “The month of February has been seasonally weak for most of the dealers/OEMs (original equipment manufacturers). Our discussions suggest weakness in two-wheeler sales except for the EVs (electric vehicles), while for PVs the demand remains strong but production constraints still remain on the automatic version and higher variants of SUVs (Sports Utility Vehicles),” said a report by LKP Securities. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Carmakers losing 15-20% sales due to supply chain issues" comment="subhead" text="Carmakers losing 15-20% sales due to supply chain issues">Carmakers losing 15-20% sales due to supply chain issues</cmsannotation> According to a dealer check by analysts, both customer footfalls and demand for passenger vehicles have gained strength every month since the pandemic subsided. However, persistent supply chain issues have resulted in carmakers losing out on 15-20% of their business, failing to take full advantage of this rising demand for PVs. Premium cars, and more specifically, the higher-end automatic variants that use technologies like automatic gear shift (AGS) and automated manual transmission (AMT) are the ones facing the most issues, with companies like Maruti Suzuki reporting waiting periods as long as 4-6 months. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Car models </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Waiting period </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;background-color:#d9d9d9;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Hyundai Creta </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;background-color:#d9d9d9;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">8-9 months </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Maruti Suzuki Ertiga (CNG) </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">6 months </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;background-color:#d9d9d9;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Maruti Suzuki AGS and AMT variants </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;background-color:#d9d9d9;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">4-6 months </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Tata Tiago EV </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">2 months </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">M&amp;M Thar (2WD diesel) </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.6000000000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">1 year </td></tr></tbody></table> Source: Brokerage reports Analysts also noted that the chip shortage is a bigger problem for Mahindra &amp; Mahindra, since its entire portfolio consists of SUVs, which use chips more than entry-level cars and hatchbacks. Overall, analysts say the robust passenger vehicle demand has resulted in low inventory levels – which are down to 15-20 days – across Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors and Hyundai. According to a Motilal Oswal report, Maruti Suzuki’s Brezza, Grand Vitara and the newly-launched Jimny and Fronx have an order book between 10,000 to 70,000 units. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="EVs catch the fancy of customers" comment="subhead" text="EVs catch the fancy of customers">EVs catch the fancy of customers</cmsannotation> Despite the higher initial cost of purchase, analysts say customers are increasingly preferring electric vehicles, be it in the passenger vehicle or the two-wheeler segment. According to a report by JMK Research, sales of electric vehicles rose 29% sequentially in the December quarter to 3.57 lakh units. “EV has gained a super strong and rapid hold on the markets with all the scooter launches in EV fetching solid demand. Customers are ready to bear the one-time high cost in EVs rather than incurring the recurring high operational costs led by rising fuel costs,” said a report by LKP Securities. While electric vehicles are costlier, their maintenance and operation costs are relatively lower than their internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts. Tata Motors’ EV portfolio now accounts for 15% of its sales, up from 5% a year ago, according to a report by LKP Securities. The company’s Nexon EV remains one of the top performers in the EV segment, with a waiting period of 20-25 days. Tata Motors’ more affordable EV offering, the Tiago EV, has an even higher waiting period of up to two months. On the two-wheeler side, Bajaj Chetak and Hero Vida’s wider availability is expected to boost the overall sales. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Customers continue to shun entry-level cars and two-wheelers" comment="subhead" text="Customers continue to shun entry-level cars and two-wheelers">Customers continue to shun entry-level cars and two-wheelers</cmsannotation> Weak rural recovery has also led to a continued decline in demand for entry-level two-wheelers like Hero CD Dawn and CD Deluxe. According to LKP Securities, market leader Hero has witnessed a 5-10% year-on-year drop in demand in February, with customer footfalls at Hero and rival Bajaj dealerships remaining subdued during the month. Price hikes due to higher input costs and BS VI emission norms, higher fuel prices, and inflation woes have contributed to the decline. “Young customers are not favouring the entry level or small hatchbacks like Wagon R, Alto models and are ready to wait till the SUVs are available,” the brokerage noted, underlining that entry-level car sales continued to struggle. The subdued demand was somewhat offset by the marriage season, according to analysts at Motilal Oswal. The brokerage added that premium two-wheelers like those from Royal Enfield have seen their demand remaining intact. However, the lower availability of test vehicles has resulted in some enquiries not translating to sales. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Bajaj Auto to reportedly slash production by 25% amid weak exports" comment="subhead" text="Bajaj Auto to reportedly slash production by 25% amid weak exports">Bajaj Auto to reportedly slash production by 25% amid weak exports</cmsannotation> Bajaj Auto is reportedly planning to slash its production in March by as much as 25% due to weak exports. Exports accounted for 39% of the company’s total sales in January 2023, down from 52% in January 2022. According to a report by the<a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/auto/two-wheelers-three-wheelers/bajaj-auto-plans-production-cuts-amid-uncertainties-over-exports/articleshow/98256284.cms?from=mdr"> Economic Times</a>, Bajaj Auto’s production in March is expected to fall to 2.5-2.7 lakh units, down from an average of 3.38 lakh units in each of the the first nine months of FY23. This will also bring down the company’s total utilisation rate to below 50%. Uncertainties in Nigeria, one of Bajaj Auto’s biggest foreign markets, is likely behind the decision to cut down production, the report added. However, analysts believe the company’s export issues have bottomed out. It remains to be seen whether this translates to sales going forward.

Passenger vehicles to continue driving auto sales in February, EVs gain a stronghold

New Delhi, Feb 9 () India's largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki India is banking on introduction of petrol variants of existing models such as Vitara Brezza besides exploring more CNG options to make up for lost numbers as it discontinues diesel options while moving to BS-VI emission norms.The company, which last week showcased the petrol version of its popular compact SUV Vitara Brezza that was earlier available only in diesel option, is also gearing up to bring petrol version of its S-Cross model."We have the optimism to recover what we are losing in diesel through this increase in petrol. We have a double task. It is not like comparing current portfolio with next year, it is like current portfolio minus diesel in next year," Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) Executive Director (Marketing &amp; Sales) Shashank Srivastava told .Elaborating the scale of task in hand, he said,"In April-January period, the contribution of diesel vehicles to (MSI's) total sales was 21 per cent. For this fiscal year it (total number of diesel vehicles sold by the company) is projected to be around 2.7-2.8 lakh units."In April-January, the company sold a total of 12,45,197 units in the domestic market as against 14,66,987 units in the year-ago period, down 15.1 per cent."It is a marketing task and that's the challenge. We will try. Vitara Brezza petrol is one of the main (models to drive up petrol vehicle volumes)," Srivastava added.Exuding confidence of petrol Brezza to be accepted in the market, he said, "In entry-level SUV segment only competition sells 58 per cent in petrol. That 58 per cent can drop down dramatically if we add Brezza and that's what we are trying to do."MSI is launching Vitara Brezza in petrol option powered by a 1.5 litre engine later this month, while it is gearing up to bring its premium crossover vehicle S-Cross, which was also available only in diesel option, with a petrol engine, in March.Last year, the company announced that it would stop selling diesel vehicles, particularly small cars, as affordability would be an issue once BS-VI norms are implemented and it phased out diesel options gradually as it started rolling out only BS-VI compliant vehicles in petrol.The company's diesel vehicle line-up included Swift, Dzire, Baleno, Ciaz, Vitara Brezza, Ertiga and light commercial vehicle Super Carry.MSI has, however, said it was not totally closed on reviewing its diesel strategy stating if there was demand even at higher cost from consumers for diesel vehicles, then it would consider upgrading its 1.5 litre diesel engine to meet BS-VI emission standards.MSI Senior Executive Director (Engineering) C V Raman said a call to upgrade diesel engine to BS-VI standard would be taken after assessing demand from the market when the stricter emission norms are implemented.He further said the other option available to the company is to increase its CNG portfolio to partially offset loss from discontinuation of diesel vehicles.The company has eight popular models offered with CNG option."We will introduce (CNG option) on other models also because we have to expand further depending on customer requirement. We will do research and find out if there is requirement in all these areas. If required we will definitely do," Raman said.The company's models which do no have CNG option are Swift, Baleno, Ciaz, Vitara Brezza and S-Cross.He said the government's plans to increase CNG stations to 10,000 will enhance penetration of CNG in existing locations and also add new areas on the CNG network map and MSI is working closely with the government."When they are increasing in existing locations they are easing filling of CNG and when they are opening in new locations we are able to reach to a larger population...We are mapping the whole thing. Then we will propagate and democratise more. This fiscal we may end up selling 1.1 lakh CNG vehicles and we will do more," Raman said. MSS RKL ANUANU

Banking on petrol variants to make up for loss in view of BS-VI norms: Maruti

Upcoming cars from Maruti Suzuki in India

Mumbai, Jan 26 () Force Motors, the market leader in inter-city commuter vans, has lined up Rs 600 crore in fresh investment to develop two new models over the next two years.
 The proposed new models in the shared mobility space will come out from its soon-to-be-launched premium platform, code-named T1N, an export-focused premium van developed with an investment of Rs 1,000 crore and is getting ready for commercial production by the end of the year.
 "We have lined up Rs 600 crore in fresh capital investment to develop two new models for the next two years. These new vehicles will come out from our next generation monocoque platform coming up at our Pithampur, Indore, works for T1N," Prasan Firodia, managing director, Force Motors, told .
 Last week, the company, the largest van maker in the country with a market share of over 68 per cent, unveiled the van 'T1N', which will be mostly exported.
 The BSVI-compliant vehicle will also be available in electric and CNG versions and has been developed over the past four years at an investment of Rs 1,000 crore.
 The company is building an entirely new bodyshop with robotic and laser-welding facilities with an installed capacity of 35,000 units for T1N, which will be an 18-seater van that boasts of 25 industry-first features.
 The new premium van will be export-focused and the Firodias, who were the pioneers of autorickshaws in the 1950s, will begin shipping the van to the Gulf markets first followed by North Africa, South Africa, the Asean, South America and the Saarc regions, Firodia said.
 On the rationale for launching a premium commuter van, Firodia said they want to use this van to be the springboard to become a global automotive company.
 The Pune-based company, which sells two commuter vans Trax and Traveller, nets almost 50 per cent of its income from its engine supply business with Mercedes and BMW now. It is also entering into an agreement with Rolls Royce to supply engines.
 In the quarter to September, Force had reported an 84 per cent plunge in net income to Rs 4.2 crore on a revenue of Rs 818 crore, which was down 5.6 per cent.
 Its association with Mercedes dates back to 1997, when Daimler AG decided to manufacture Mercs in the country. To date, it has supplied over 1,15,000 engines to Mercedes Benz India from its state-of-the-art dedicated facility at Chakan near Pune.
 Similarly, in 2015, BMW assigned Force to produce and test the engines for all cars and SUVs to be made in the country. Accordingly, it has built a dedicated factory closer to the BMW plant in Chennai and has supplied over 45,000 engines to the German luxury car maker.
 In March 2018, Force Motors entered into a joint venture (JV) with Rolls-Royce Power Systems AG to manufacture and supply worldwide, the 10- and 12-cylinder, series 1,600 engines for power generation and under-floor rail applications. The JV is slated to take off from April. BEN HRS
