Tata Motors made a grand entry into the growing CNG passenger vehicle segment with Tiago and Tigor CNG models and its strategy has certainly paid off. The automaker’s CNG sales jumped by 120 per cent from 41,000 units in FY2023 to 91,000 in FY2024. The sales more than doubled for the Indian auto giant surpassing the brand’s EV sales, which stood at 74,000 units during the same period.
Tata Motors revealed its annual CNG sales numbers during ‘Investor Day 2024.’ CNG cars contributed about 16 per cent to the brand’s overall volumes in FY2024, up from 8 per cent in FY2023. Meanwhile, the automaker witnessed an uptick in EV sales with a 48 per cent year-on-year growth, from 50,000 units in FY23 to 74,000 units during the previous fiscal.

EV sales contributed 13 per cent to the brand’s overall volumes, up from 9 per cent the previous year. That said, petrol and diesel vehicles still contributed 71 per cent, albeit down from 83 per cent in FY23. Tata’s sales stood at 5.73 lakh units in the last financial year.
Tata ventured into the CNG segment with not just another factory-fitted CNG option but also introduced the alternative fuel option on higher variants packing more features. A milestone moment was the introduction of its twin-cylinder technology bringing more practicality to CNG vehicles, while the automaker brought the first CNG-AMT cars to the market earlier this year. The 360-degree approach to the CNG space has certainly turned out to be fruitful for Tata.
