The Numbers That Matter
At current Maharashtra fuel prices: CNG costs approximately ₹90/kg while petrol costs ₹106/litre. A typical 8-hour driving shift covers around 150–180 km.
Monthly Fuel Cost Comparison (8 hrs/day, 26 days)
- Petrol vehicle: ₹106/litre × ~9 litres/day = ₹954/day = ₹24,804/month
- CNG vehicle: ₹90/kg × ~3.5 kg/day = ₹315/day = ₹8,190/month
- Monthly savings with CNG: ₹16,614
💡
Switching from petrol to CNG adds over ₹16,000 to your monthly take-home earnings without driving a single extra hour. It is the single highest-ROI change you can make.
CNG Kit Installation Cost
A factory-fitted CNG kit costs ₹45,000–₹65,000. An aftermarket kit costs ₹18,000–₹25,000. At ₹16,000/month in savings, a factory kit pays for itself in under 4 months.
Downsides of CNG to Consider
- CNG stations are less common than petrol pumps — plan your route
- Slightly reduced boot space due to CNG cylinder
- CNG pressure reduces over long trips — refill every 150–200 km
- Some older vehicles have lower resale value with aftermarket kits
