        abstract = {This study examines the growing demand of green consumerism and CNG cars as a cost-effective and alternative fuel in the shift toward green transition in the Indian context. According to the WHO report, the main concerns over air pollution, fuel costs, and environmental sustainability have redefined the adoption of CNG cars, which is also fueled by government policies, infrastructure expansion, and increasing consumer awareness. The research explores the economic advantages of CNG cars, including lower operating costs, reduced dependence on imported fuels, and the potential to generate employment across sectors. It also highlights the CNG features, cost effectiveness and trend from 2011 to 2025. CNG offers significant environmental and economic benefits, but challenges such as infrastructure disparities and methane emissions persist. The study concludes that CNG serves as an effective transitional solution, bridging the gap between conventional fuels and future low-emission technologies like electric vehicles.},
