This is not the first time that Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) has increased the price of the CNG in the Delhi-NCR. Previously as well, the company increased the pricing of CNG two times earlier this year. Not only Delhi-NCR, but this time IGL has also increased CNG prices in other parts of the country.

In Rewari, CNG is currently retailing at ₹84.07 per kg, while in Karnal and Kaithal, it is selling at ₹82.27 per kg. The price of CNG is ₹85.40 per kg in Kanpur, Hamirpur and Fatehpur, while it is selling at ₹83.88 in Ajmer, Pali and Rajsamand after the fresh hike. The price of CNG has been increasing periodically since October last year when domestic and international gas prices started to soar.

With the incessant hike in petrol and diesel, several motorists started relying on CNG. The sales of CNG kit equipped vehicles started increasing across the country. Also, the sales of CNG kits for retrofitting too started growing. However, the consecutive hikes in prices of CNG are impacting the consumers.

Besides Delhi-NCR, CNG prices have increased multiple times earlier this year in Mumbai as well.
