Tata Motors To Roll Out CNG Cars In FY21 -

(FE)

Tata Motors will start rolling out CNG cars in FY21, gradually reducing its dependence on diesel vehicles, which are tipped to become costlier once the BS-VI emission norms come into force, persons familiar with the development said. Government rules say starting April 1, 2020, all new vehicles must be fitted with BS-VI engines.

Mayank Pareek, president, (passenger vehicles), Tata Motors, told FE the gameplan was to replace diesel vehicles with CNG in whichever segments the impact was felt. “This is hitherto an unexploited area in India and we have chalked out a detailed strategy,” Pareek said, adding, “We’re making our own CNG kits and we’re expecting to fit these in almost all models in our portfolio”. Tata Motors has not yet decided whether it will altogether drop diesel variants of its models like the Tiago, Tigor and Zest. However, Pareek indicated the substantial difference in the prices of petrol.
