IGL Raises CNG Prices by Rs 3.89 per kg in Delhi-NCR Amid Global LNG Price Surge
Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) has increased CNG prices in Delhi and adjoining cities by Rs 3.89 per kg, effective from 6 am on August 29, 2026. The hike raises Delhi's CNG price to Rs 86.98 per kg, with higher rates in Noida, Ghaziabad, and Gurugram. IGL attributed the increase to a surge in global liquefied natural gas (LNG) prices driven by the West Asia crisis and increased European demand ahead of winter. The revision aims to partially offset rising input costs while maintaining supply reliability.
