“This delivery of 51 Citroën C3 cars is a proud milestone for Nanavati Citroën and a defining moment in our institutional journey. We are delighted to partner with the Luthra Group in transforming employee mobility into a smarter, faster and more comfortable experience. Urban traffic demands practical solutions, and this initiative demonstrates how car-based ride-sharing can significantly reduce travel time while enhancing employee well-being. We thank the Luthra Group for their trust and look forward to enabling many more organisations with innovative mobility solutions"

Designed to enhance daily employee commuting, the Citroën C3 will allow point-to-point, flexible routing, reducing long detours and rigid schedules typically associated with bus-based transport. The deployment ensures greater comfort, reduced travel time, improved productivity, and higher perceived safety, especially for shift-based operations.

In addition to the transition also benefit the environment by reducing

• Particulate Matter emission (PM/per km) à ~106× lower PM
• NOx (per kmà ~23× lower NOx
• CO₂ (per km) à ~7% lower CO₂
• Running cost à ~INR 3/KM

The Citroën C3 CNG brings together the brand’s signature ride comfort with the efficiency of CNG-powered mobility, making it ideally suited for daily corporate commuting. Despite the CNG integration, the C3 retains well-managed interior space with ample rear-seat room, ensuring passenger comfort even during shared rides. With effective air-conditioning, practical lighting and a suspension setup tuned for Indian roads, the C3 delivers consistent comfort, low running costs and dependable performance for high-usage corporate environments. This delivery further strengthens Citroën India’s growing footprint in corporate and institutional mobility solutions, particularly within Tier-II and Tier-III markets.
