Benefits of conversion to CNG are :
- It's a Clean Fuel as it has the lowest content of carbon and other pollutants and is economical as it has zero lead and is non-corrosive, non-dilutive, and non-contaminating.
- It is cheaper because the CNG prices are far more consistent than fluctuating petrol and diesel prices.

- The average mileage of CNG vehicles is better than that of Diesel and Petrol driven vehicles.
- It is part of Waste to Wealth as stubble (Parali) can be used as a raw material for producing Bio-CNG which will help the farmers to earn money by selling it to the Bio-CNG production units.
- It will help farmers to save up to 50 percent on the fuel cost as the current Diesel prices are Rs.77.43 per litre whereas CNG is only Rs.42 per kg.
