Maruti Suzuki India aims to sell around 900,000 CNG vehicles in the current fiscal year, marking a nearly 30% increase from the previous year.

Demand spans multiple segments, including small cars, vans, and SUVs. Maruti Suzuki currently offers 15 CNG models and sold over 700,000 units in fiscal 2025-26.
