On Thursday, Mahindra & Mahindra announced the debut of the Supro CNG Duo, a light commercial vehicle that uses dual fuel and costs Rs. 6.32 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The vehicle can run on CNG and petrol.

With a 75-litre CNG tank, it has a payload capacity of 750 kg and a range of 325 kilometres. Additionally, a five-litre gas tank is included to address any concerns about range.

Baneswar Banerjee, VP and National Sales Head for Mahindra & Mahindra, stated that the product would serve a variety of market load operators with set routes.

According to him, the car may be used for intercity travel because it has a range of more than 325 kilometres.

"In terms of demand, the CNG market has doubled over the past four years. This amply supports the necessity for CNG, and if we examine its contribution in the less-than-2-tonne category, we find that it now accounts for about 5,000 of the 16,000 total units sold each month, according to Banerjee.

With Supro CNG Duo, the company is sure that it will get a large market share in the niche, he continued.

The business's Chakan facility in Maharashtra is where the model is being distributed.
