In the April-August period of this fiscal year, the auto major has so far sold 2.21 lakh units, he added.
The new Swift comes in three variants priced at ₹8.19 lakhs; ₹8.46 lakh and ₹9.19 lakh respectively.
Banerjee said the S-CNG models offer a fuel efficiency of 32.85 km/kg.
“The company pioneered the production of CNG vehicles in India in 2010. Since then, we have sold over 2 million S-CNG vehicles to date, contributing to a significant reduction of 2 million tonnes of CO2 emissions,” he added.
The company now offers 14 models with CNG technology, Banerjee said.
