IGL Raises CNG Prices by Rs 3.89 per Kg in Delhi-NCR Amid Global LNG Price Rise
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 revised price in Delhi is Rs 86.98 per kg, with higher rates in Noida, Ghaziabad, and Gurugram. The hike is attributed to a sharp rise in global liquefied natural gas (LNG) prices amid the ongoing West Asia crisis and increased European demand ahead of winter. IGL stated the revision partially offsets increased input costs while maintaining reliable CNG supply.
