Can CNG vehicle owners expect relief after petrol and diesel rate cut?

Responding to a petition and also to the worsening air pollution in Delhi, the Supreme Court had in 1998 directed that all the buses, taxis and auto rickshaws will have to switch to CNG. The apex court had also ordered the setting up of 70 CNG stations to meet with the increased demand.

After initial hiccups — which included a waiting time of over 10 hours at CNG stations– the national capital finally took the leap of faith. And by 2021, it claimed to have the “cleanest public transportation system”.
