Tata Motors sells 3,000 units of Tigor & Tiago CNG in under a month since launch

Tata Motors joined the likes of Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai earlier this month in joining the CNG bandwagon. With a clear intention at having a large say in the growing CNG passenger vehicle (PV) market, Tata Motors launched Tigor and Tiago CNG versions and announced recently that in just a few weeks, it had managed to sell 3,000 units of both vehicles.

Rising petrol and diesel costs have put the focus firmly on vehicles powered by alternate fuel sources. And while the buzz is all around electric vehicles - and Tata Motors does offer Nexon EV and Tigor EV, factors such as high price points and range anxieties still act as deterrents against battery power. CNG, therefore, has become a viable alternative.
