There is no doubt that the way electric cars are fast gaining popularity all over the world, a day will come when people will forget about fuel engines.
There will be a lot of impact on the prices of petrol, diesel and CNG due to the need to switch to electric cars. In future, there is no hope of reduce in cng prices, because there will be no supply of cng in the huge amount, and the population of metro cities like Delhi will never ever approach the people to buy CNG cars as the average of the CNG cars will be equal to petrol.
The domestic prices of CNG will be based on the global prices of the natural gas which India imports from abroad. Any rise or dip in the global natural gas will have a simultaneous effect on domestic CNG rates in India. India imports more than half of the natural gas from foreign countries to meet its domestic requirements and it costs the government more than double the domestic rate. With the increasing awareness amongst the people to preserve the natural environment for making this earth a better place to live in, more people in India are switching to CNG enabled vehicles.
