LPG, CNG and PNG Rates Listed Amid Gas-Supply Concerns
The prices of cooking gas and vehicle gas were listed for several Indian cities on September 10.
LPG is usually used for cooking in cylinders.
CNG is used mainly in vehicles, while PNG is piped gas supplied to homes.
Prices differ between cities because taxes and local charges are different.
Delhi’s CNG price has risen by nearly ₹10 per kilogram since January.
The government wants more households to use PNG to reduce subsidy costs.
It has approved an incentive plan beginning in 2026.
Tensions involving the United States and Iran have also pushed global oil prices higher because people worry that fuel supplies could be disrupted.
Domestic LPG cylinders cost ₹939.50–₹994 across the listed cities on September 10.
Commercial 19-kg LPG cylinders were priced between ₹2,701 and ₹2,996.
CNG prices ranged from ₹86.98 per kg in Delhi to ₹112 in Hyderabad.
PNG prices ranged from ₹48.40 per SCM in Gurugram to ₹54.70 in Chandigarh.
The government plans incentives for city gas distributors to expand domestic PNG connections from September 1, 2026.
