Companies promoting CNG vehicles
In the ban on diesel driven vehicles, a subsidy scheme has been announced on commercial vehicles, but it is not yet on passenger vehicles. But vehicle companies are offering special offers for those who want to exchange old diesel autos and get CNG. In this, they are being given a discount of more than Rs. 5000, which will depend on the condition of the current vehicle.
