Tata Motors has been preparing to enter the passenger vehicle CNG market for some time now. The car manufacturer had said that it will bring its first CNG car to the Indian market in November 2021. But it seems that this plan of the company is getting delayed due to the ongoing chip crisis. But now according to the new report, the first Tata CNG car can now come to India in the next month i.e. January 2022. There are reports that Tata will enter the CNG market with the Tiago.

According to many media reports, the launch of Tiago CNG in India may happen next month. When the Tata Tigor CNG is launched, it will compete directly with the Hyundai Aura CNG. However, Maruti is also planning to launch the Dzire CNG model in India.
