Top 12 Upcoming CNG Car Models in India in 2025

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicles are slowly making a mark in the Indian market due to their environment-friendly nature and low operating cost. While an in-depth assessment of how a CNG engine functions would require technical expertise, the eco-friendly nature is mostly responsible for its popularity.

Before you buy a CNG car, know that securing car insurance is also crucial as it is mandatory by the Motor Vehicles Act of 1988. It provides financial protection against accidents, theft, and damage, safeguarding your investment. Having car insurance saves you from hefty traffic fines, license suspension, and even legal trouble.
