Tata Punch, Altroz CNG: India Launch Details 

As mentioned, Tata Motors showcased a glimpse of the Punch CNG at the Auto Expo 2023. The company will reportedly launch the CNG version of the Punch in India by June 2023. Industry reports revealed that another CNG model by the firm - the Altroz, will also be launched alongside the Punch CNG.

The automaker is presumably working to change the CNG kits available for Indian cars. The Altroz and Punch, two forthcoming CNG cars, will therefore be brought along with a split-cylinder-tank layout. The company claims that the split-tank design will give CNG owners a usable boot area. Tata hasn't revealed the precise amount of luggage space for the forthcoming CNG variants, though.
