Delhi Vehicle Restrictions Boost CNG Conversions Amid Traffic and Registration Trends
Following Delhi's restrictions on non-Delhi-registered BS-IV and older petrol and diesel vehicles, CNG installation centers in NCR cities like Noida, Ghaziabad, and Gurugram have seen up to a 50% rise in demand as owners opt to convert vehicles to CNG. These curbs, effective until January 2027, exempt CNG and electric vehicles. Meanwhile, vehicle registrations in Indore reached a 2026 high in October, with electric and CNG vehicles comprising over 22% of registrations. Enforcement of BS-VI checks at Delhi borders has caused significant traffic congestion and delays for commuters.
