Tata Motors is all set to launch the new Tiago and Tigor CNG in India on January 19, 2022 and the company had already started accepting pre-bookings for both models last week. The carmaker is charging a token amount of Rs. 5000 - Rs. 10,000 for the bookings depending on the location and variant. Now we already know that both models will be based on their respective petrol models and in terms of pricing, we expect Tata Motors to charge a premium of around Rs. 80,000 for CNG derivatives. So we expect prices for the Tata Tiago CNG to begin at Rs. 5.80 lakh and go up to Rs. 8 lakh depending on the variant, while prices of the Tigor CNG are expected to begin at Rs. 6.50 lakh and go up to Rs. 8.60 lakh.

In terms of powertrain options, we do not expect to see any changes. The models come powered by a 1.2-litre Revotron petrol engine tuned to belt out 85 bhp and 113 Nm of peak torque. That said, we can expect a slight drop in power figures given the CNG conversion. Transmission duties are likely to be carried out by a five-speed manual gearbox as standard.

Given the steep hike in fuel prices last year, people are looking for alternatives to petrol and diesel powered vehicles and CNG have been quite in demand of late, especially in metro cities. Even the government has been giving a greater impetus on CNG fuel. According to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), in India there are 3,500 CNG filling stations across 293 cities as of now as compared to 1,300 stations in 143 cities in 2019. Now this is likely to further expand to 6,000 stations by 2025 and reach 10,000 stations by 2030.
