CNG Cars in India 2026: Every Model, Price and km/kg

Every CNG car, cheapest first

27 of the 98 cars we track are sold with a factory-fitted CNG kit — 106 CNG variants in all. Below ₹5 lakh ex-showroom there are 2; below ₹10 lakh, 21; below ₹15 lakh, 27. The efficiency column is the manufacturer's certified figure in kilometres per kilogram of gas, where one is published.

Ex-showroom, Delhi. Certified figures are the manufacturer's own, read from its brochure or specification page. For 8 of the 27 we hold no certified CNG figure — either the maker prints none or we have not found it in a document of the maker's own — so none is printed rather than one borrowed from another car or a press report.

CNG automatics

8 cars sell CNG with an automatic gearbox — 26 variants. The cheapest is the Tata Tiago Pure AMT at ₹7,12,990. Every one is an automated manual (sold as AMT or AGS), the kind of automatic that adds least to a car's price.

The highest certified km/kg

The five highest certified figures, one per car: the Maruti Dzire VXi AGS at 36.47 km/kg, the Maruti Swift VXi AGS at 35.34 km/kg, the Maruti Baleno Delta AMT at 34.47 km/kg, the Toyota Glanza S AMT at 34.47 km/kg and the Maruti Celerio VXi manual at 34.43 km/kg. Certified figures come from a standard test cycle and run higher than what a car returns in traffic; they are useful for comparing one car with another, not for budgeting to the rupee.

What the CNG kit itself costs

Where a manufacturer sells the same trim and gearbox as both petrol and CNG, the CNG version costs ₹63,000 to ₹1,30,000 more across the cars we track. What a factory CNG kit actually costs has every pair, and the cheapest way into a CNG car separates the price of the kit from the price of the trim it comes on. Running cost depends on the gas price where you fill up. The one price we hold from a supplier is Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL)'s for Delhi, ₹86.98 a kg, and the guide uses it to work out how far each car must be driven before the kit pays for itself at Delhi prices. The gas prices we hold for other states do not pass our own consistency check, so no other state's payback is printed.
