Tata Motors Ltd on Tuesday launched the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) version of its small car Nano and said that the gas-run versions of Indica and Indigo models would follow soon. This is the first-ever gas-run product launched by Tata Motors, and its delivery will begin on October 9. The company, which has four manufacturing facilities in India, has not ruled out manufacturing Tata Motors’ brands and models other than Nano at Sanand, a senior official said. The new bi-fuel product, ‘Tata Nano CNG emax’, that can run on gasoline as well as CNG, will cost Rs 2.45 lakh for Nano CX and Rs 2.72 lakh for Nano LX, ex-showroom Ahmedabad, which Ankush Arora, Senior Vice-President and Head-Strategy, described as the ‘Nano City’. Arora said that the price difference between the petrol and CNG versions of Nano is about Rs 44,000. The new product is expected to attract customers in states like Gujarat, NCR, Maharashtra and Tripura, where CNG is available. Of all cars sold in India, 15 per cent are gas-run. Nano CNG, showcased in Pune in June and commercially launched here on Tuesday, comes with a four-year warranty or 60,000 km, whichever is earlier. “It comes with factory-fitted fire extinguisher as per rules.”
