Compressed Natural Gas or CNG price in Delhi will be determined by the Government of India. The main supply of CNG fuel in Delhi is Indraprastha Gas Limited of IGL. The rise or decline in natural gas in the global markets will determine the CNG prices in Delhi.
CNG is the abbreviation of Compressed Natural Gas. It is a natural gas stored under high pressure. It is used mainly for power generation. Over the last few years, the growing awareness of negative effects on the environment has forced many to switch to CNG or other eco-friendly fuels.
The automobile industry is turning the focus to going green as it aims to provide clean and eco-friendly fuel to users to diminish the negative effects of air pollution on the environment. In India, the usage of CNG is touted and promoted as an alternative, greener, environment and pocket-friendly fuel to petrol or diesel.
The usage of hybrid powertrain technology is also promoted as a greener and cleaner powertrain alternative. Here, the hybrid powertrain technology is seen as a bridge which connects the gap between the internal combustion engine technology and the fully electric powertrain mechanism.
The vehicles which use CNG fuel will come with a CNG kit installed which works in simulation with the petrol engine onboard a vehicle. This kit can be either pre-installed or can be procured from the aftermarket. In India, Tata Motors, Hyundai and Maruti Suzuki sell many models with CNG kits pre-installed in the vehicles.
Compressed natural gas is used as an alternative form of fuel for powering vehicles. However, it can be used for power generation, air conditioning, and water heating as well.
