Retrofitting CNG Kits On In-Use Four-Wheelers Banned In Delhi

By Ajinkya

Delhi Transport Department has banned retrofitting CNG kits on in-use four-wheelers. Both authorised and unauthorised CNG conversion kit fitters have been asked to stop accepting bookings. There is a risk element as CNG is flammable and could risk the lives of occupants.

Several complaints have been registered that the CNG conversion kits are not fixed properly. Certification from the transport department is necessary and a few dealers were skipping this step. The decision to ban fitting of CNG kits has been banned for safety reasons.
