Maruti Suzuki has stopped working on its LPG models and now the manufacturer has began work in the direction of producing CNG variants.

Maruti Suzuki Chairman R C Bhargava told media, "We have stopped working on LPG models, because customers prefer CNG cars. We will launch the first CNG variant next year."

He further added, "We do not want our customers to wait in long queues and suffer because of lack of distribution network. We hope that the distribution network will strengthen by 2010 and at that time we will roll out the CNG cars"
