thebalanced.newsDelhi Sees Third CNG Price Hike in 10 Days Amid Rising Fuel Costs
CNG prices in Delhi have increased by Rs 1 per kg, marking the third hike in 10 days, with rates now at Rs 81.09 per kg. Similar increases apply in Noida and Ghaziabad. This follows recent petrol and diesel price rises amid global energy market pressures linked to Middle East tensions and the Strait of Hormuz blockade. Despite international crude oil prices rising sharply, India has maintained relatively moderate domestic fuel price increases compared to other countries.
