Maruti Suzuki has sold 5 lakh vehicles with factory-fitted CNG kits since they were first introduced in 2010.

Maruti currently offers CNG option on seven models including the Alto 800, Alto K10, WagonR, Celerio, Dzire, Eeco and the Super Carry LCV. The outgoing Ertiga was also offered with a CNG variant but the new one isn’t offered with the green fuel.
