Is there any CNG bike in India?

Especially in Delhi as there is so many engine working on CNG, I wonder whether there is any bike working on CNG. If no then why not the mechanics start inventing or if yes than what is the cost? Or can we modified by ourself? Thanking you in advance for your precious information.

    Niks, your link does not appear to lead to any obvious information on a CNG-fueled motorcycle. The Bajaj site itself doesn't offer any clues either. I doubt whether a CNG-fueled bike would be practicable. You need a pressure vessel for the fuel tank, which has to be a cylinder, so in order to make it look aesthetically pleasing it would have to be covered by something. On most Indian motorcycles (which by world standards are all quite small) there is not enough space around the carburettor to fit the mixing device needed in order to make the carburettor handle the CNG and mix it with air for combustion inside the cylinder. Of course, it's not impossible; here in New Zealand there was a big CNG conversion industry in the 1980s, but all on cars, but the technology would be convertable to motorcycles. It's just that I haven't heard of anyone doing it.

    EDIT Okay, looks like I was wrong about CNG motorcycles (see link below) - but I doubt they are available in India

    Yes very much.

    Bajaj Platina has the CNG model.

    its 100 CC bike and launched in 2008, over all response of this bike is good.

    Also there is CNG/LPG kits available in market, if you are looking for conversion.Please refer to the dealer on the same.
