Indraprastha Gas Raises CNG Prices in Delhi-NCR Amid Rising LNG Costs
Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) raised compressed natural gas (CNG) prices by Rs 3.89 per kg in Delhi-NCR, citing increased liquefied natural gas (LNG) import costs due to the West Asia crisis and higher global energy prices. This is the fifth price hike this year, with CNG now costing Rs 86.98 per kg in Delhi and up to Rs 95.59 per kg in Noida and Ghaziabad. Despite the increase, IGL stated CNG remains an economical fuel option. The company’s shares rose following the announcement, and Citi retained a Buy rating, expecting improved margins.
