IGL Raises Delhi-NCR CNG Prices by Rs 3.89 Amid Rising Global LNG Costs
Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) raised CNG prices in Delhi-NCR by Rs 3.89 per kg from August 29, citing a sharp rise in international liquefied natural gas (LNG) prices due to escalating West Asia tensions and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Delhi's new CNG price is Rs 86.98 per kg, with higher rates in Noida, Ghaziabad, Meerut, and Gurugram. Transport unions have demanded fare hikes and threatened strikes, citing increased operational costs. BJP spokesperson Syed Shahnawaz Hussain linked the hike to geopolitical factors, expecting prices to fall once tensions ease.
