Success rate of policy / implementation - observations
- Supply constraint resulted in chaotic conditions in both the cities (media reports, CNG demand forecast for the vehicle fleet – much more than the actual supply)
- Policies alone did not provide the sufficiency condition for “use”, though it resulted in conversion / engine retrofits
- Drivers pushing CNG sales up include pricing policies resulting in economic benefits to users, lesser queuing time at the filling stations, availability of conversion kits, financing
Limitations
- Proposed framework validated with qualitative data
- Case studies in other developing countries may show
different features
- Data gaps on the improvement in ambient air quality
- Other factors like industrial and commercial sector would have a bearing on improved air quality
- Case studies represent “specific” fuel switching options, for a comprehensive fuel switching policy, framework will have to be different
