Go Green: New Delhi Goes Green with CNG

The capital city of India, New Delhi, was one of the 10 most polluted cities of the world in 1998. The city sprung into action after the Supreme Court orders to the government to shape up the environmental state of the city. Since then, New Delhi has made tremendous improvement in its state of affairs with respect to pollution.

The city won the prestigious award of "Clean Cities international partner of the year" award from the US Department of energy. Compared to 1997, the carbon monoxide levels have dropped by 32 percent and sulphur dioxide by 39 percent.

New Delhi has set examples for other global cities to follow suit. Its entire public transport fleet now runs on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). Of the 80000 public transport vehicles, 9000 are public buses. All commercial vehicles over 15 years are banned from plying on city roads.

This is a great initiative and even individual customers are going for CNG aftermarket fittment in their gasoline engine vehicles to save cost and contribute towards the environment.
