The prices of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) were hiked by Rs. 2 per kg with effect from Sunday 06:00 am.
In a key development, the prices of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) were hiked by Rs. 2 per kg with effect from Sunday 06:00 am. The Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) has hiked the CNG price in Delhi-NCR, with the fuel now priced at Rs. 73.61 per kg in New Delhi.
With this new hike, CNG is now being sold at Rs. 76.17 per kg in Noida, and Rs 81.94 per kg in Gurugram. In addition to these cities, IGL has hiked CNG prices in other parts of the country as well. In Haryana, the price of CNG is retailing at Rs 84.07 per kg in Rewari and Rs. 82.27 per kg in both Karnal and Kaithal. Meanwhile, in Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur, Hamirpur and Fatehpur, the price of CNG is now Rs. 85.40 per kg. The cost of CNG is Rs. 83.88 in Rajasthan’s Ajmer, Pali and Rajsamand after the surge.
It is pertinent to mention here that the city gas distributors have been periodically increasing prices since October last year when domestic as well as international gas prices started to ascend. Notably, earlier in April, the prices of CNG in the national capital were hiked by Rs. 2.50 per kg and that of piped cooking gas by Rs. 4.25 per unit to record levels against the backdrop of the surge in raw material cost.
