2023 (Jan-Oct) Model-wise CNG-mix-trend

CNG vehicles contribute 12.8% of total passenger vehicle sales in India.
Maruti Wagon-R (78,351) is the best-selling CNG vehicle in India, followed by Maruti Ertiga (65,347) and Maruti Dzire (46,322).
Maruti commands a 75% market share of CNG vehicles, as it offers CNG option across its product portfolio with a C-Series engine.
This is followed by Tata (12%), Hyundai (11%), and Toyota's, which has rebadged Maruti's.
Low-cost hatchbacks command 39% of the CNG vehicle market, followed by MUVs (26%), sedans (20%), and SUVs (15%).
Tata offers the most innovative dual-tank CNG option on the Altroz and Punch, with almost little sacrifice in boot capacity.
Strangely, there is no automatic transmission option available yet in the CNG segment from any manufacturer.

Aura is CNG favorite among masses including private registration. It's really surprising that Dzire is now a distant second in the compact sedan with CNG fuel choice.

A little confused by your statement. Dzire is at 46k vs Aura at 34k. Doesn't that make Dzire the most favorite CNG sedan?

Apologies for not being clear enough, What I wanted to say was the CNG percentage-wise sales of Aura is a staggering 76% compared to just 36% of Dzire to the overall sales.
Dzire was, is, and will be the most-sold compact sedan due to the absolute reach of Maruti Suzuki.

CNG vehicle manufacturers also face some level of competition from electric vehicles, which are seeing demand accelerate with new models rolling out, a fast-expanding EV charging network across India and greater consumer awareness. While the initial cost of an EV is higher than a CNG or petrol/diesel model, the much lower cost of EV ownership in the long run remains a very attractive buying proposition. Nevertheless, with both modes of power, the focus is on eco-friendly transportation.

This is an eye opener. CNG is a big market, beyond my expectations and is still growing. That is the reason Tata is now launching the Nexon CNG and Tiago/Tigor CNG AMT. Surprised Hyundai is not launching more CNG models.

Is there any stat available on what is the breakup in personal vs. taxi segment sales?
