Considering the hiking fuel prices and the serious air pollution in India, the development of CNG vehicles has been strongly encouraged in the country. Maruti Suzuki has also taken advantage of this situation to boost the sales of CNG vehicles and broken the record of five lakh units sold. The company is expected to continue to improve its CNG vehicles portfolio both in terms of quantity and quality to satisfy the demand of this emerging but potential segment.
