Nissan Motor India has unveiled a special festive promotion for Diwali 2026, providing complimentary government-approved bi-fuel CNG retrofit kits for specific non-turbo variants of its popular Magnite subcompact SUV and the Gravite three-row family vehicle. The campaign aims to attract buyers looking to significantly reduce daily operational costs without the traditional upfront premium associated with CNG installations.
This limited-period offer is valid through November 16, 2026. For high-mileage commuters, particularly those driving over 30-40 km daily, the free CNG kit presents a substantial economic advantage.
Eligible Models and Savings
The campaign's core benefit is the complete waiver of retrofitting expenses, though eligibility is tiered based on model trims and engine configurations.
Nissan Magnite (Subcompact SUV)
- Kit Value Waiver: ₹74,999

Technical Specifications and Integration
Both the Magnite and Gravite utilize Nissan's naturally aspirated 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine. In petrol mode, both models produce 72 PS (71 bhp) and 96 Nm of peak torque. When running on CNG, the Gravite's output is 63 PS and 72 Nm of peak torque. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed EZ-Shift (AMT) gearbox.
- Magnite CNG: Features a standard single large tank configuration.
- Gravite CNG: Incorporates a twin-cylinder setup (2 x 25 liters) installed under the boot floor, designed to preserve luggage space and third-row utility. The Gravite claims a company-stated fuel economy of 19.3 km/kg in CNG mode.
Warranty and Certification
A key assurance for prospective buyers is the comprehensive warranty and certification framework. All retrofitted kits carry official, regional transport office (RTO) approved type-certifications, ensuring compliance with emission norms and safety regulations.
Nissan maintains its standard factory vehicle product warranty for engine component integrity and structural systems. The retrofitted CNG assembly, including the fuel ECU, high-pressure lines, rail injectors, and tank valves, is backed by a dedicated 3-year or 1,00,000 km third-party warranty, whichever comes first.
While high-mileage drivers will find the free CNG kit most beneficial, low-mileage city drivers might gain more from opting for the alternative upfront cash discount package.
