CNG rates have risen by Rs 1.50 per kilogram, marking a 14% increase since the start of the year, according to the latest Asianet Newsable report.
The price of compressed natural gas (CNG) in India has climbed by Rs 1.50 per kilogram, reflecting a 14% rise since January. The hike was reported by Asianet Newsable, which noted the new tariff applies to all CNG dispensing stations across the country.
Authorities have attributed the increase to higher procurement costs and adjustments in the underlying natural gas market. The revised rates are expected to affect commuters who rely on CNG for daily travel, as well as commercial fleets that use the fuel for cost‑effective operations.
Transport operators and regular users are advised to monitor further announcements from state petroleum corporations, which may release additional adjustments in the coming weeks. The price change underscores broader pressure on fuel prices amid fluctuating global energy trends.
Industry analysts suggest that the 14% rise could influence consumer preferences, potentially prompting a shift toward electric vehicles or alternative fuels, especially in metropolitan areas where CNG usage is high.
