CNG prices hiked in Delhi and Mumbai
Price hikes though were not just limited to petrol and diesel, Indraprastha Gas (IG) – the supplier for CNG in Delhi-NCR – and Mahanagar Gas (MGL) – the supplier in Mumbai and surround areas – both announced hikes in prices of CNG.
CNG prices hiked by Rs 2.5 per kg in Delhi-NCR and by Rs 7 per kg in Mumbai and neighbouring areas.
IG hiked prices for CNG in Delhi and neighbouring areas by Rs. 2.5 per kg for the second time this week with the fuel priced at Rs. 66.61 per kg in the National capital. The complete prices of CNG in Delhi and NCR are below.
| Region | Price per kg |
|---|---|
| NCT of Delhi | Rs. 66.61 |
| Noida, Greater Noida & Ghaziabad | Rs. 69.18 |
| Muzaffarnagar, Meerut & Shamli | Rs.73.86 |
| Gurugram | Rs.74.94 |
| Rewari | Rs.77.07 |
| Karnal & Kaithal | Rs.75.27 |
| Kanpur, Hamirpur & Fatehpur | Rs. 78.40 |
| Ajmer, Pali & Rajsamand | Rs.76.89 |
Meanwhile in Mumbai, the recent Rs. 6 per kg reduction in CNG prices proved to only be temporary. MGL hiked prices of the fuel by a notable Rs. 7 per litre with effect from April 6 with the price spiking to Rs. 67 per litre for Mumbai and neighbouring areas. The hike in price is likely due to the higher prices of domestically produced natural gas announced by the Centre earlier this month.
