CNG Prices Rise Across Delhi-NCR as Imported Gas Costs Surge
CNG is a fuel used by many cars, autos, taxis, and other vehicles.
Its price went up by Rs 3.89 for every kilogram in Delhi-NCR.
The new prices started at 6 am on Saturday, August 29, 2026.
In Delhi, one kilogram now costs Rs 86.98.
Prices are Rs 95.59 in Noida and Ghaziabad, Rs 92.01 in Gurugram, and Rs 95.47 in Meerut.
IGL says it uses imported gas called LNG to help make CNG.
Imported LNG has become more expensive in international markets.
This means drivers and transport operators will have to pay more for fuel.
Indraprastha Gas Limited raised CNG prices by Rs 3.89 per kg across Delhi-NCR.
The revised rates took effect at 6 am on Saturday, August 29, 2026.
CNG now costs Rs 86.98 per kg in Delhi, Rs 95.59 in Noida and Ghaziabad, and Rs 92.01 in Gurugram.
The rate in Meerut rose to Rs 95.47 per kg.
IGL said higher international LNG prices and increased input costs required the revision to partially offset expenses.

Reason for the increase
IGL's Cost Explanation
IGL said imported LNG prices have remained elevated, increasing the cost of gas used as a CNG input, so the Rs 3.89 revision was needed to partially offset those costs.
Consumer and Operator Impact
CNG users face an immediate increase in fuel expenses, with commercial drivers and transport operators particularly affected because they depend on CNG for daily operations.
Effect on transport
IGL's Cost Explanation
IGL said the calibrated revision would help address higher input costs while maintaining reliable CNG supplies.
