A dealership-sourced document tells us that the Tigao’s CNG unit will be offered with three variants: XM, XT, and top-spec XZ+. This suggests that the hatchback’s XM variant will be relaunched. On the other hand, two of the Tigor’s variants (XZ and XZ+) will be equipped with the CNG option.
The top-spec Tiago XZ+ CNG will get a new ‘Midnight Plum’ colour option. The remaining shades are the same as the petrol-powered models.
If Tata does offer the cleaner fuel option with the two models’ top-spec variants, it will be the first in the Indian automotive industry to do so. That’s because carmakers usually equip their base- or mid-spec variants with the optional CNG unit. You can check out this story of ours, where we have explained this in a little more detail.
The Tiago and Tigor’s range-topping variant features 15-inch alloy wheels, a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a fully digital instrument cluster (standard), automatic AC, electric ORVMS, dual front airbags (standard), and a rear parking camera.
As for the Tiago’s XM and XT variants, they miss out on most of the above-mentioned features, save for standard ones. The Tigor’s XZ variant is decently equipped with front fog lamps, wheel covers, ORVM-mounted turn indicators, a Bluetooth-enabled infotainment system, and push-button engine start/stop.
Engine specifications are yet to be revealed, but the CNG unit will be paired with the existing 86PS 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol mill. The power and torque figures will go down slightly when running on the cleaner fuel. A 5-speed manual will be standard.
The CNG variants are expected to retail at around Rs 80,000 more than their corresponding petrol variants. For reference, the variants in question of the Tata Tiago retail from Rs 5.72 lakh to Rs 6.40 lakh, while those of the Tigor range from 7.68 lakh to Rs 7.29 lakh (all prices ex-showroom Delhi).
As for the hatch, it will rival the CNG-powered variants of the Maruti Celerio, Maruti Wagon R, Hyundai Santro, and Hyundai Grand i10 Nios. The sedan will go up against the Hyundai Aura CNG.

Some brands do not allow to add CNG kit to their cars. So, for confirmation, we would suggest you walk into the nearest authorized service centre as they would be able to assist you better.
Atul ji I am also eager to get CNG installed in my tiago xz+ but frankly no dealer can tell you exact situation right now. I think wait for another 10 days and get cng installed through dealer only.
