New Delhi, August 29, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Compressed natural gas (CNG) prices have been increased by Rs 3.89 per kg across Delhi-NCR, with the revised rates coming into effect from 6 a.m. on Saturday.
Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL), the primary city gas distributor in the National Capital Region, announced the revision, citing significantly higher international liquefied natural gas (LNG) prices and rising input costs.
Following the hike, CNG in Delhi will cost Rs 86.98 per kg, up from Rs 83.09 per kg.
The revised rates will also apply in adjoining cities. CNG will now cost Rs 95.59 per kg in Noida and Ghaziabad, while the price in Gurugram has been fixed at Rs 92.01 per kg.
The increase is expected to raise fuel expenses for motorists and commercial vehicle operators, particularly auto-rickshaw drivers, taxi operators, app-based cab services and other businesses dependent on CNG-powered vehicles. Private car owners using CNG will also face higher running costs.
IGL said international LNG prices remain “significantly high” and that the impact of increased costs is being felt rapidly. The company said the latest Rs 3.89 per kg increase was necessary to partially offset higher input gas costs while maintaining a reliable supply of CNG to consumers.
The latest revision follows a series of CNG price increases in recent months. In May 2026, IGL raised CNG prices in Delhi by Rs 2 per kg, following another Rs 1 per kg increase announced earlier that month.
Repeated increases have raised concerns among transport operators, particularly in metropolitan areas where CNG-powered vehicles constitute a substantial part of public and commercial transportation.
