Nissan Motor India has introduced a new alternative fuel option for its popular Magnite vehicle, a CNG retrofit kit. This is approved by the Government of India, ensuring its safety and reliability. The kit is priced at Rs. 74,999. If customers want to install this kit in their vehicle, they should do so only at Nissan authorized and officially certified service centers. This provides customers with a safe and legally permitted alternative fuel option.

The CNG kit facility introduced for the Nissan Magnite vehicle is developed and offered by a third-party company called Motozen. The company itself also provides a warranty that will test the kit. This facility will not be available in all states initially. Initially, the CNG kit installation facility is available in seven states only – Delhi-NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Haryana, Kerala and Karnataka.
Customers can avail this facility by contacting authorized Nissan dealers in these states. Nissan has said that the service will be expanded to other states in the second phase.
