As the government is pushing for lower emission standards and the use of cleaner fuel, diesel is on its way out. Although, it isn't as dirty a fuel as it is being projected. Since EVs remain out of reach for most, either in terms of finances or use-case scenarios, the sale of CNG cars has registered a spike. Therefore, we now have some interesting CNG cars under Rs 10 lakh, namely the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and Tata Punch. The list is now joined by the 4th-gen Maruti Suzuki Swift in its CNG avatar. Let's get on a quick comparison of these CNG cars.
