CNG is not dispensed throughout India, and hence the car’s availability is restricted to places where the fuel is available, such as Delhi, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Lucknow.

The Nano CNG was unveiled in July at the Horizonext event in Tata’s Pune plant and is the first of five brands in the emax series.

“From its inception, the Nano has been a path-breaking invention and the CNG version only adds to that and also underlines our commitment to be a sustainable automotive player,” said Ankush Arora, Sr. Vice President, Passenger Vehicle Business Unit (Commercial), Tata Motors Ltd.

The CNG kit is a sequential injection type, and if the system senses that the driver wants more power, it automatically shifts to the gasoline mode.

Manual switching from CNG to gasoline or vice-versa can be done on-the-fly.

The vehicle can also be started with CNG fuel and automatically shuts down the system if a gas leak is detected.

The CNG tank (4-litre capacity) is installed under the driver seat, thus not intruding into the luggage compartment.
