An alternative to petrol, auto LPG, and diesel in India is Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). CNG is considered to be safe and environment-friendly. The amount of methane present in the fuel ranges between 80% and 90%. The amount of sulphur and lead that is present in CNG is lesser when compared to other fuels, this ensures that the carbon emission is low.
There are several retail outlets present in Hyderabad that supply CNG. The prices of CNG are decided by the Government of India and are based on the natural gas prices in the global markets. CNG prices are usually revised every month in the city.

CNG is an automotive fuel that can be used instead of diesel and petrol. The volume that is occupied by CNG in the fuel tank is lesser when compared to other fuels as the compression of natural gas is done under pressure.
Some of the main advantages of using CNG are pollution is reduced as carbon emissions are low, it is a safe fuel, the operational costs are low, petrol can also be used in CNG-powered vehicles, and lubricating oils last longer. When compared to diesel and petrol, CNG is cheaper.
The main differences between LPG and CNG are mentioned in the table below:
LPG | CNG |
Highly flammable | Comparatively safe as CNG is dispersed in the air rapidly |
Carbon dioxide is produced in large amounts | Carbon dioxide that is produced is low when compared to LPG |
Butane and propane are the main components | Methane is the main component |
Used for cooking at home | Used in automobiles as an alternative fuel |
