CNG Myths and facts

While CNG  is fast becoming the ideal alternative to maintain a pollution free environment, there are many self proclaimed 'mechanics' so to say, who are neither certified nor capable of installing CNG kits the right way. In view of the alarming levels of pollution, the government has made it mandatory for commercial vehicles to run on CNG. CNG is being accepted as an alternative fuel but with a caution - accidents are being reported with vehicles being run on CNG. It is important to mention here that these accidents are not because of the CNG but due to the sub standard parts and kits used by unauthorized companies or agencies, mushrooming in all corners of the city. These companies work under the façade of being booking centres or car mechanics, and tend to misguide the public who is still in the process of fully understanding the work of CNG kits. These companies lure the public by charging less and offering discounts, whereas, in reality, they compensate by putting in sub standard or faulty parts.

 The Delhi Transport Authority, after due research, gives licenses to companies/firms fit to install CNG kits. The also regularly conduct check ups to ensure compliance with safety and other statutory norms. The department has drawn up a list of all companies authorized to install CNG kits.

The CNG kit should always be installed by authorized companies/firms, which are well equipped with trained and educated technician and which deal with approved kits. The dream of clean Delhi - Green Delhi can only be attained by expanded usage of CNG, a cheaper and a much safer option.
