- Government incentives: The Indian government is offering subsidies to promote the use of CNG vehicles.
- Environmental benefits: CNG is a cleaner fuel than petrol or diesel, producing fewer emissions.
- Performance: The Rumion CNG offers good performance and fuel economy, making it a practical choice for everyday use.
