Motorists have been bearing the brunt of soaring petrol and diesel prices for over a year and now even CNG is likely to become more expensive. A price notification issued on September 30 by the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC) which is an arm of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas stated that the price of domestically produced natural gas would be $2.90 per million British thermal unit (mmBtu) from October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022. Price of natural gas has hence seen an upward revision of $ 1.11 per million British thermal unit which approximately will be Rs. 90 per million British thermal unit.
