automobile This year is going very well for the market. After the cut in GST rates last year, there has been a tremendous increase in the sales of vehicles. This year, many automobile companies have launched many new models to increase their sales and market share. If you are also planning to buy a car for your family and are confused about the petrol-CNG variant, then here we will clear all your confusion. Here we will tell you which car between petrol and CNG variants will be more beneficial for you.
For whom is CNG car beneficial?
CNG car proves beneficial only for those people who run a lot. If your monthly running is 1000 km or more, then in such a condition it can be beneficial for you to choose a CNG car. But, if your monthly running is less than 1000 km then the decision to buy a CNG car can be costly. Actually, compared to petrol car, the price of CNG car is approximately Rs 1,00,000 to Rs 1,25,000 more. If your monthly running is less then in such a situation it takes a lot of time to equalize the difference of Rs 1,00,000 to Rs 1,25,000 and by then the condition of the vehicle also deteriorates to a great extent.
It takes many years to equalize the price difference
Suppose, you are planning to buy Tata Punch. The Adventure variant of Tata Punch with petrol engine is priced at Rs 7.65 lakh, while its CNG variant is priced at Rs 8.65 lakh. The mileage of Tata Punch with petrol engine is approximately 19 km per liter. Whereas its CNG variant is approximately 27 km per kg in one kg of gas. Even if your monthly running is around 700 km, it will take you around five and a half years to equalize the difference of Rs 1 lakh.
