TIL Desk/Business/New Delhi/ Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) plans to drive in CNG trims across its product range as it remains bullish over long-term prospects of the segment amid increase in fuel prices and drop in diesel car sales, according to a senior company official.
The company, which sold around 1.62 lakh CNG cars last fiscal year, is also counting on the rapid expansion of CNG dispensing outlets across the country to bring in more CNG products.
Bullish on the expansion of the sales network, the automaker expects its CNG car sales to almost double this fiscal year over 2020-21.”In 2021-22 we expect to sell around 3 lakh CNG units. It is when many of our models do not have CNG option right now.
“Out of 15 brands we sell, CNG option is available in just seven models. We are trying to bring CNG options in rest of the portfolio,” MSI senior executive director (sales and marketing) Shashank Srivastava told.
