The Tata Punch CNG is a factory-fitted CNG version of Tata’s entry-level SUV, positioned as a fuel-efficient alternative in the compact SUV space. Launched on August 3, 2023, it adopts Tata’s dual-cylinder CNG technology, which helps retain most of the usable boot space while enhancing practicality for urban users.
Built on the ALFA-ARC platform, the Punch was originally launched in October 2021 and has since become one of the most popular micro SUVs in the country. It also carries forward the five-star Global NCAP safety rating of its petrol counterpart and is part of Tata’s growing CNG portfolio alongside the Tiago, Tigor, and Altroz.
The Tata Punch CNG price starts at ₹7.29 lakh (ex-showroom) for the entry-level Pure trim. The mid-spec Adventure variant is priced from ₹8.11 lakh, while the Accomplished variant starts at ₹9.51 lakh. The Accomplished+ Sunroof variant tops the standard range at ₹9.99 lakh. Additionally, Tata offers the Punch CNG in a special CAMO Edition, with the top-spec CAMO variant priced at ₹10.16 lakh. All aforementioned prices are ex-showroom.
The CNG version of the Tata Punch was officially launched in India on August 3, 2023. It marked Tata Motors’ fourth model to receive a CNG powertrain, extending the availability of factory-fitted CNG tech in the compact SUV segment.
The Tata Punch CNG is available across three main trims: Pure, Adventure, and Accomplished. The Accomplished+ variant with a factory-fitted sunroof sits at the top of the standard range. The special CAMO Edition is available in two variants and comes with green camouflage accents and exclusive interior trims.
Feature distribution across variants includes a seven-inch infotainment system and rear AC vents from the Adventure trim onwards, while the Accomplished variant brings automatic climate control, push-button start/stop, cruise control, and LED lighting. The top trims are also equipped with a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
Colour options for the Punch CNG include four paint schemes: Tropical Mist, Meteor Bronze, Orcus White, and Daytona Grey. The CAMO edition comes in a unique Foliage Green shade with contrasting roof options.
The Punch CNG offers an ARAI-certified fuel efficiency of 26.99 km/kg. Real-world mileage figures may vary depending on road conditions, traffic patterns, and driving behaviour.
The Punch CNG is powered by a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder Revotron petrol-CNG engine. In petrol mode, the engine produces 84.82 bhp and 113 Nm of torque. In CNG mode, the output is rated at 72.39 bhp and 103 Nm. The engine is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox, with no automatic transmission offered on the CNG variants.
The key differentiator is Tata’s twin-cylinder CNG layout. Instead of a single large CNG tank, the model uses two smaller 30-litre cylinders positioned under the boot floor. This setup preserves a significant amount of usable luggage space, offering 210 litres of boot capacity, compared to 366 litres in the petrol model.
The Punch CNG retains the split-headlamp layout and tall SUV stance of the petrol model, featuring 16-inch alloy wheels, LED DRLs, 90-degree opening doors, and dual-tone bumpers. The cabin is equipped with a semi-digital instrument cluster, steering-mounted controls, and a cooled glovebox. Higher variants also offer cruise control, automatic climate control, push-button start, and iRA-connected car features depending on the configuration.
The Tata Punch has received a five-star safety rating from Global NCAP for adult occupant protection. The CNG version carries forward the same platform and structure and includes essential safety features such as dual airbags, ABS with EBD, reverse parking sensors, a rear defogger, and ISOFIX mounts. Additional protections for the CNG system include thermal incident protection and a safety interlock for the fuel lid.
As of July 2025, there are no official discounts or exchange schemes announced for the Tata Punch CNG. However, dealer-level promotions may be available depending on location and stock levels.
The Tata Punch CNG competes in the growing sub-compact SUV CNG market, where its key rivals include the Hyundai Exter CNG, Maruti Suzuki Brezza CNG, and Toyota Taisor CNG.
