The cost of compressed natural gas in the Delhi-NCR region has been increased by Rs 3.89 per kilogram, with the revised tariff effective from today.
Delhi authorities announced a hike of Rs 3.89 per kilogram in the price of compressed natural gas (CNG) for the Delhi-NCR region, with the new tariff coming into force today. The decision was communicated through official channels and reported by IBTimes India.
The increase will be reflected at all CNG dispensing stations across the National Capital Region, affecting commuters, auto‑rickshaw drivers and fleet operators who rely on the fuel for daily operations.
While the exact reasons for the adjustment were not detailed, officials indicated that the rise aligns with broader cost pressures on the natural gas supply chain. Users are expected to absorb the higher expense in the short term.
Transport unions have been advised to monitor the impact on operating costs and may seek dialogue with the government if the hike significantly strains livelihoods.
The new rate replaces the previous tariff, which had remained unchanged for several months, marking the first revision in the current financial year.
