Tigor CNG does not make sense for 1K KMs per month running. The money saved by running on CNG will be compensated with Baleno's higher resale value. Other gratifications like ease of service, reliability and peace of mind with Maruti is separate.
I feel out of the 2, Baleno makes more sense. For city driving, Tigor EV 'was' a great choice however with the price hike and considering your friend's low monthly running, it cannot be even a suggestion.
