Honda Activa: The Indian motorcycle manufacturer, Bajaj, could potentially launch its CNG bike that promises one kilometer of travel per one Indian Rupee. Although there has been no official statement regarding this, it is speculated that Bajaj may introduce this innovative concept to the market.
In the past, two-wheelers powered by compressed natural gas (CNG) have been tested, including a pilot project involving the Honda Activa. However, these initiatives were not continued. Despite this, using a CNG kit in your scooter can significantly increase its mileage and reduce the expenses of running on petrol. Currently, there is a price difference of ₹40 between petrol and CNG.
There is a growing demand for CNG kits in India, especially among people who prefer scooters due to heavy traffic in major cities. These kits provide a mileage that surpasses that of bikes. As a result, their popularity is increasing day by day.
Honda Activa, TVS Jupiter, and other scooters are currently equipped with CNG kits that provide excellent mileage. This kit allows scooters to cover a kilometer for only 70 paise.
Installing a CNG kit in a scooter costs around ₹18,000. In this price range, your scooter will be converted to run on CNG. The installation process takes approximately six hours. Afterward, you can switch between petrol and CNG with the help of a switch. However, the CNG cylinder weighs 1.02 kilograms, which means it needs to be refilled frequently. Nevertheless, using this kit, you can comfortably cover distances of up to 120-130 kilometers.
