Maruti Suzuki India have hiked the prices on all of their CNG cars. Now, the CNG cars from Maruti Suzuki command more premium over the petrol-only equivalents than before. Maruti Suzuki India have increased the prices of the CNG models by Rs. 95,000 across the model range. The carmaker earlier had a flat premium of Rs. 90,000 for all CNG models over their non-CNG counterparts.

Take a look at the price difference between CNG bi-fuel and petrol-only models:

MARUTI ALTO CNG EX-SHOWROOM PRICE COMPARISON
	PETROL	DIFFERENCE	CNG
Alto LXI	Rs. 3.94 lakh	Rs. 95,000	Rs. 4.89 lakh
Alto LXI (O)	Rs. 4.00 lakh	Rs. 95,000	Rs. 4.95 lakh
S-Presso LXI	Rs. 4.29 lakh	Rs. 95,000	Rs. 5.24 lakh
S-Presso LXI (O)	Rs. 4.35 lakh	Rs. 95,000	Rs. 5.30 lakh
S-Presso VXI	Rs. 4.55 lakh	Rs. 95,000	Rs. 5.50 lakh
S-Presso VXI (O)	Rs. 4.61 lakh	Rs. 95,000	Rs. 5.56 lakh
WagonR LXI	Rs. 5.18 lakh	Rs. 95,000	Rs. 6.13 lakh
WagonR LXI (O)	Rs. 5.24 lakh	Rs. 95,000	Rs. 6.19 lakh
Celerio VXI	Rs. 5.63 lakh	Rs. 95,000	Rs. 6.58 lakh
Ertiga VXI	Rs. 8.92 lakh	Rs. 95,000	Rs. 9.87 lakh
EECO AC (O)	Rs. 4.93 lakh	Rs. 95,000	Rs. 5.88 lakh

With this price increase, the KM-to-breakeven will also shift higher as you’ll need to drive more just to recover the higher upfront cost of the car. While aftermarket CNG kits don’t cost anywhere close to Rs. 95,000, you’re mostly paying for the peace of mind as you get manufacturer warranty with the car. The additional cost will add about 2,000 - 3,000km to your breakeven mileage. Which means, you will have to drive the car a little more to recover the additional Rs. 5,000 you’re paying upfront with lower running costs.
