Tata Ace Pro Bi-Fuel vs Mahindra Supro CNG Duo Comparison

The sub-1-ton mini truck market now offers two strong CNG options with petrol backup. Tata's Ace Pro Bi-Fuel and Mahindra's Supro CNG Duo both eliminate range anxiety. But they suit very different business needs. Here's how they compare.
Mahindra Supro Has More Torque and Power
The Mahindra Supro CNG Duo uses a 909cc two-cylinder engine. It produces 27 horsepower and 60 Nm torque. Top speed is 70 kmph. The Tata Ace Pro Bi-Fuel runs a 694cc two-cylinder engine. It makes 25 horsepower and 51 Nm torque. Top speed is 55 kmph. The Supro handles heavy loads and steep inclines better.
Tata Ace Pro Delivers Better Fuel Economy
The Tata Ace Pro Bi-Fuel returns 26 km per kg in real-world conditions. The Supro gives 22 km per kg. Tata's smaller engine sips less fuel. For daily city runs, the Tata saves more money at the pump.
Supro Has Much Larger CNG Tank
The Supro packs a 75-litre CNG tank plus 5 litres petrol backup. The Tata offers a 45-litre CNG tank with 5 litres petrol. The Supro needs fewer refueling stops. This matters for longer routes and suburban operations.
Both Carry 750 kg Payload
Both trucks are rated for 750 kg payload. Gross vehicle weight differs: Tata at 1,535 kg, Supro at 1,850 kg. The Supro is built heavier to handle rougher roads.
Supro Offers Longer Loading Deck
The Supro load body measures 2,285 mm (about 7.5 feet). The Tata load deck is 2,046 mm (about 6.7 feet). For long items like pipes, plywood, or furniture, the Supro wins. The extra deck space also allows more cargo units per trip.
Tata Is Far More Maneuverable
The Tata turning radius is just 3,750 mm. The Supro needs 5,200 mm to turn. For narrow city lanes, crowded markets, and tight delivery spots, the Tata is unbeatable. The Supro struggles where the Ace slips through easily.
Tata Has Modern Safety and Telematics
The Tata Ace Pro series carries AIS-096 crash certification. It features Fleet Edge telematics for real-time vehicle tracking. The cabin feels modern and car-like. The Supro focuses on old-school ruggedness with strong leaf-spring suspension (8 leaves front, 7 rear) for bad roads. It lacks advanced telematics.
Tata Costs Much Less to Buy and Run
The Tata Ace Pro Bi-Fuel is priced around ₹4.99 lakh ex-showroom. The Mahindra Supro CNG Duo costs about ₹6.09 lakh. Over 10 years and 4.5 lakh km, total expenses for Tata are ₹19.51 lakh. Supro totals ₹23.14 lakh. Cost per kilometer is ₹4.33 for Tata and ₹5.14 for Supro. The Tata is significantly cheaper over the long term.
Supro Has Slightly Better Warranty
The Mahindra Supro CNG Duo offers a 3-year or 80,000 km warranty. The Tata Ace Pro Bi-Fuel comes with 2 years or 72,000 km warranty. Mahindra provides marginally better coverage.
Choose Based on Your Business
Pick the Tata Ace Pro Bi-Fuel
If you want the lowest investment, better fuel economy, and need to navigate narrow city lanes. It's perfect for high-margin, small-volume urban deliveries.
Pick the Mahindra Supro CNG Duo
If you carry long items, need to haul heavy loads on hilly terrain, or make longer suburban trips requiring higher speed and fewer fuel stops. The extra upfront cost pays off for specific use cases.
