In a recent report, brokerage firm CLSA highlighted that Maruti will maintain its top position in the CNG PV segment with a 72 percent share. With the rise in CNG passenger vehicles, stocks such as Maruti Suzuki and Tata Motors will benefit, the brokerage firm said. CLSA estimates the market share of CNG PVs to rise from 15 percent in FY2024 to 22 percent in FY2030. This growth, the brokerage said, could be attributed to lower running costs of CNG Vehicles.
