Methane gas, which makes up the majority of CNG, is stored under high pressure in cylinders with specific dimensions. It is utilised with CNG engines or modified gasoline/diesel engines that have been converted to run on CNG in cars.
Location, local taxation, and market conditions are just a few examples of the variables that might affect CNG pricing.
Residents of Kalyan are switching more frequently to CNG as an alternative to petrol so they may save money while also preserving the environment. CNG costs Rs. 91.00 per kilogram in Goa.
Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL) is one of the most reputed gas providing companies that provides CNG to customers in various cities of Maharashtra including Kalyan.
The company has already provided CNG to more than 9.2 lakh vehicles in Mumbai including 3.7 lakh rickshaws and 0.7 lakh taxis.
Apart from that, MGL has a wide distribution of CNG filling stations throughout its operational locations. The CNG network is also being expanded by MGL in the districts of Kalyan and various other cities in Maharashtra such as Dombivali, Ambernath, Badlapur, Ulhasnagar, Bhiwandi, Panvel, and Raigad.
The dual fuel option for petrol cars and taxis makes it possible to switch between CNG and petrol as needed.

Note
The table below lists the key distinctions between LPG and CNG:
LPG | CNG |
Obtained during the extraction of natural gas. | CNG can be obtained from wells that produce coal, natural gas, bed methane, or oil. |
LPG is heavier than air, in comparison. | Releases into the air. |
Incredibly flammable. | Generally safe. |
Large volumes of carbon dioxide are created. | The quantity of carbon dioxide produced is less when compared to LPG. |
Includes propane and butane. | Includes methane. |
Utilised in agriculture, industry, and cookery. | Used in vehicles. |
Cash, debit or credit cards, as well as electronic payment apps, are all acceptable forms of payment for CNG. The approved forms of payment are often advertised at CNG stations in Kalyan, which normally have dedicated payment systems.
A CNG cylinder shouldn't have more than two-thirds of its total volume refilled during the course of the summer. This is due to the fact that during the summer, when temperatures surge to unusually high levels, a full fuel tank is hazardous.
In Mumbai, there are 6 ARAI and RTO approved workshops where CNG kits may be retrofitted into commercial vehicles. M/s Chunnilal, (Bhandup), M/s Mars Ignition, (Mira road), M's Lotus, (Powai), and Mr. Dhingra Turbhe (Navi-Mumbai) are among the companies with locations in Sewree, Mulund, M/s Shrimankar Auto Gas, and M/s Green Globe Fuel Solution.

Yes. This facility of financing CNG kits for Commercial Vehicles is offered by some renowned auto refinancing organisations, like Cholamandlam and Shriram Finance. Write to mglecng@mahanagargas.com for a free CNG commercial vehicle demonstration or with any other questions.
No. Because diesel engines have compression ignition and CNG engines require spark ignition (SI), dual fuel options are not available for diesel vehicles. However, commercial vehicles fueled by CNG have many CNG cylinders fitted, which allows for plenty of time to top off CNG before it runs out completely.
It is, indeed. CNG is a cleaner and more effective fuel since methane, the simplest hydrocarbon, makes up the majority of its composition. Carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and Sulphur dioxide are dangerous exhaust gas pollutants that contribute to ailments including cancer and asthma. The usage of CNG considerably minimises these emissions. Global warming's negative consequences are also lessened by CNG.
Due to the unique characteristics of CNG, it does not pollute or deplete crankcase oil, providing the engine with a new lease on life. Because CNG contains no lead, plug life is increased because lead fouling is prevented. Because CNG enters the engine as a gas, there is no carbon produced during CNG's combustion, which lowers the likelihood of wear and tear.
The kind of car and the CNG kit will determine how much it will cost to convert it to CNG. At the moment, the cost of conversion is about between Rs.25,000 and Rs.50,000.
