Maruti Suzuki India targets around 9 lakh CNG vehicle sales this fiscal after first-quarter CNG sales rose 58% year-on-year to 2.2 lakh units. Rising fuel prices have lifted demand across small cars, vans and SUVs, prompting expanded underbody-CNG offerings.

Why this matters

The CNG target extends Maruti Suzuki India's volume push, following plans for 25–30% FY27 SUV growth to 700,000 units and the new Brezza's 5-star Bharat NCAP rating ahead of launch.

Retail-company signals are accelerating, up 1,116,300% quarter over quarter.
