The Delhi government has announced a rise in compressed natural gas (CNG) prices starting August 29, 2026, affecting commuters and transport operators.
Delhi authorities disclosed that the price of compressed natural gas (CNG) will be raised from August 29, 2026. The announcement was made through an official circular and applies to all CNG dispensing stations across the city.
The revision is expected to increase the cost of daily travel for private vehicle owners, auto‑rickshaw drivers and commercial fleets that rely on CNG as a primary fuel. Transport operators have been advised to adjust their fare structures in line with the new rates.
Consumer groups have warned that the hike could strain household budgets, especially for low‑income commuters who depend on CNG for affordable mobility. The government has indicated that the change aligns with broader fuel‑price adjustments, but no specific subsidy measures were detailed.
Stakeholders are monitoring the impact on traffic flow and overall fuel consumption as the new pricing takes effect later this month.
