Sagas Auto Tec

What Sagas Auto Tec does

Sagas Auto Tec Private Limited is an India-based developer, manufacturer, and supplier of LPG and CNG conversion kits specifically designed for 3-wheelers (auto-rickshaws). Founded in 1983 and headquartered in Mysore, Karnataka, the company is recognized as a pioneer — claiming to be the first globally to develop gas conversion kits for 3-wheelers — and serves Indian auto-rickshaw operators and fleet owners seeking to reduce fuel costs (claimed savings of up to 66% versus petrol) while meeting Bharat Stage emission norms. Its product portfolio covers BS-I through BS-IV compliant kits for TVS, Bajaj, and Piaggio 2-stroke and 4-stroke vehicles, in both mechanical and electronic variants, applicable to engines ranging from 30cc to 1000cc.

The company's core technology is developed in-house at a DSIR-recognized R&D unit and is anchored on a proprietary magneto-pneumatic functioning system that operates independently of electronic systems, alongside fool-proof lubrication technology, quick-start capability, and damp-proof, non-corrosion components designed for Indian climate and road conditions. Components are type-approved under CMVR by Government of India testing agencies, certified under UNECE 67R1 and ISO 15500 standards, with CNG kits also approved by ARAI and cylinders certified by PESO and BIS under SMPV rules. The product range encompasses over 30 SKUs across LPG kits (LK series) and CNG kits (CK series) for both Petrol-to-CNG and LPG-to-CNG conversions.

Sagas Auto Tec generates revenue primarily through one-time hardware sales of conversion kits distributed via an authorized dealer and distributor network spanning at least 10 Indian cities (including Nagpur, Nasik, Jodhpur, Jaipur, Kota, Udaipur, Chiplun, Alibagh, Belgaum, and Sangli). Installation must be carried out by SAGAS Authorized Installers (SAI) per government regulations, and the company supplements kit sales with technical training programs, deputed service engineers for new markets, and video-call technical support for franchisees and local mechanics. Pricing is quote-based and varies by kit type, engine variant, and Bharat Stage compliance. The company has also secured export orders to several countries and holds multi-OEM recognition from TVS, Bajaj, and Piaggio.
