Nissan Magnite CNG: Here are 5 things to know about the SUV before you decide to buy

Hindustan Times30-05-2025
Nissan has debuted the CNG version of its well-liked Magnite compact SUV, with prices beginning at ₹6.89 lakh (ex-showroom). In contrast to many competitors that provide factory-installed CNG kits, the Magnite CNG features a dealer-level retrofit, meaning the CNG kit is added at authorised centres post-manufacturing. This method grants customers a more adaptable and budget-friendly option to shift to cleaner fuel, appealing to environmentally conscious buyers.
In the Indian market, the Magnite CNG competes with models like the Maruti Suzuki Fronx CNG, Tata Punch iCNG, and Hyundai Exter CNG. While these rivals come with factory-ready kits, the Magnite distinguishes itself by utilising a dealership-based installation approach that reduces the cost. Here's five things to know before you decide on buying the Nissan Magnite CNG.

The CNG kit installed in the Magnite is crafted, produced, and quality-tested by Motozen, an external vendor. It features a 12 kg single-cylinder system and is fitted at government-approved service centres. Motozen offers warranty coverage for the components of the CNG kit, and Nissan maintains its standard three-year or 1 lakh km warranty on the vehicle, even post-retrofitment.
Nissan is rolling out the Magnite CNG gradually. Initially, it will launch in seven states—Delhi-NCR, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Kerala, and Karnataka. The company intends to broaden availability to additional states in the subsequent phase.

The retrofit kit is priced at ₹75,000 and is compatible with any variant of the 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol Magnite. With the base petrol model starting at ₹6.14 lakh, the CNG version is available from ₹6.89 lakh (both ex-showroom). This positions it among the most economical CNG-equipped SUVs in India, particularly compared to those with factory-installed kits.
Nissan has not yet unveiled official performance metrics for the CNG variant. Nonetheless, it is anticipated to have marginally lower power output than the petrol version, similar to other CNG vehicles. The CNG Magnite is projected to achieve 24 km/kg in urban settings and up to 30 km/kg on highways, making it a cost-effective choice for daily commuting.

It is equipped with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 7-inch fully digital instrument cluster, push-button start/stop, USB Type-C ports, and automatic climate control. Safety essentials include six airbags as standard, along with Vehicle Dynamic Control, Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control, Hill Start Assist, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, ABS with EBD, Hydraulic Brake Assist, ISOFIX child seat anchors and a high-speed alert system.

Coal miners spent ₹3K cr on progressive mine closure in 3 years: Official

The official said that in the case of non-coal, the state governments have been a bit slow in carrying out mine closure, with the forfeited money available to them through the Indian Bureau of Mines Press Trust of India Hyderabad About Rs 3,000 crore was spent during the last three years by coal mine operators on progressive mine closure in the country due to the efficient work by the Coal Controller, said a senior official on Friday. Addressing the Indian National Committee of the World Mining Congress (INC WMC) here, V L Kantha Rao, Secretary, Ministry of Mines, also said that when it comes to the non-coal sector, the Controller General of the Indian Bureau of Mines is ensuring that all 1,200 mines are undertaking progressive mine closure. "They (Coal Controller) have ensured that in the existing, there are about 500 coal mines, and people have spent about Rs 3,000 crore in the last three years on progressive mine closure. That's a big achievement, and all the credit goes to this Coal Controller who has ensured that people spend not only at the end of the coal mine but also every five years," Kantha Rao said. He further said that in the case of non-coal, the state governments have been a bit slow in carrying out mine closure, with the forfeited money available to them through the Indian Bureau of Mines. Union Minister G Kishan Reddy, in his address, said as many as 500 mineral blocks have been auctioned to date since the auction regime began, while 119 have been auctioned in the last year alone. Similarly, policy changes have made it easier to do business in mining and encouraged private companies to take part, such as 50-year uniform mining leases, he further said. "No more delays due to lease renewals, easy transfer of permissions, funding support through the National Mineral Exploration Trust, and the first-time launch of exploration licenses to encourage the private sector," Reddy said. As a result of focused efforts, India crossed a historic milestone, producing over 1 billion tonnes of coal for the first time in Indian history. At the same time, coal imports dropped by 7.9 percent, falling to 243 million tonnes in 2025, Reddy added. Kishan Reddy launched vision documents on the aluminium and copper sectors separately.

Hotmail co-founder Sabeer Bhatia has this advice for Indians: ‘The way I see it, India can become …

Sabeer Bhaita, co-founder of Hotmail has once again stirred a controversy online by praising US, while giving an advice to India citizens. The Indian-origin millionaire recently extended his Fourth of July wishes to the United States, which he referred to as his "adopted country." In the same post Bhaita was seen giving a piece of advice to his fellow Indian citizens. Read Hotmail co-founder Sabeer Bhaita's post here Sabeer Bhaita took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to post his wishes on the 250th anniversary of US. Bhaita's post features American glass emoticon and reads, 'Happy 250th Anniversary to my adopted country," followed by an Indian flag emoji. He then went on to suggest that for India can to reach this same level if the citizens of the country make a fundamental shift in their mindset. "The way I see it, India can become as prosperous as the US — all it takes is a change in the way its citizens think,' Bhatia stated. Sabeer Bhatia again writes post 'shaming' India This is not the first time, that Sabeer Bhaita has written a post criticising India. Last month, Bhatia shared a post on X criticising India's economic progress. Following his earlier Sindoor post, which questioned India's economic pride, Bhatia doubled down with another post, stating that 415 million Indians survive on Rs 265 per day, calling it a 'shame' rather than a cause for celebration. His remarks have drawn brutal backlash from netizens, who questioned his motives and contributions while residing in the United States. In a post on X, Bhatia stated, "Instead of hanging your head in shame that 415 million people in India survive on $3.10/day [approx. Rs 265/day], you brag about being the world's 4th largest economy. Shame on you."
