According to Jitendra Adhia, President, Finance, Atul Auto Ltd, “Atul Auto Ltd (AAL) will strongly back RIK CNG/LPG at all locations with Khushbu Auto Finance (KAFL), the NBFC associate concern of AAL along with other retail finance partners.”

Pushkar Sinha, Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Atul Auto Ltd. stated, “The small and midsize segment alternative fuel is already showing strong growth indicators fuelled by rising diesel prices, pollution concerns and the opening up of Metros and suburban railways. Gujarat is our forte and we are targeting minimum 25 per cent market share”.
