Statistics show that the automobile industry recorded an 18 percent decline in automobile sales in FY 2019–20, while Maruti’s diesel car sales fell by 37 percent during this period. However, this decline was not seen in the CNG variants where one lakh six thousand units sold more with a 7 percent increase. These figures show that people are now buying more CNG vehicles than diesel. In the year 2013, where Maruti had sold more than 51,000 CNG cars, by 2019, more than 76,600 cars have been sold and this year a record one lakh six thousand 443 CNG cars have been sold.
