In this article, we’ll estimate the ex-showroom prices of the variants of Tata Nexon, which are most likely to get the CNG powertrain.
Let’s first start with the Nexon’s petrol-manual’s ex-showroom prices applicable as of February 2024 to form a baseline:

Considering that Tata Motors usually offer CNG in their lower-mid all the way to top variants, we should see the CNG option available in Pure and higher trims.
Tata Motors have the upper hand in offering a CNG-bifuel option in the B2-segment along with a usable boot space. The Nexon CNG will also become the only turbo petrol car in India with CNG bi-fuel option. Since the other carmakers don’t have a turbo CNG engine, the Nexon CNG should offer remarkable drivability even after experiencing some drop in performance.
Still, we expect them to follow the industry standards and maintain the status quo. While they will become the only one to offer CNG and a usable boot with a turbo petrol engine, they don’t have a strong grip in the CNG market. Thus, we expect them to follow the norm of charging Rs. 95,000 for the lower running costs of CNG cars. Limiting the reach of the CNG powertrain to Pure and higher variants will also help Tata position the Nexon CNG as a premium alternative.
Thus, we expect the Nexon CNG to come with the manual transmission and cost between Rs. 10.75 lakh and Rs. 14.55 lakh.

whats the point of launching cng if only provided in higher variants, because launching in higher models eliminates the basic idea of cost effectiveness. My guess it will be provided from smart to creative variants.
