CNG Prices Hiked by Rs 2 in Delhi, Fourth Hike in 15 Days

The prices of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) have been increased by Rs 2 per kg in Delhi with effect from Tuesday, adding to the commuting burden for users of CNG-powered vehicles. 

CNG will now cost Rs 83.09 per kg in the national capital. The latest revision marks the fourth hike in CNG prices in less than 15 days. It comes just days after the previous increase of Re 1 per kg on Saturday. 

The hike is also expected to impact public transport fleets in cities like Delhi, where a large number of buses and cabs run on



CNG.

Petrol and diesel prices were also increased again on Monday, marking the fourth hike in less than two weeks amid continued volatility in global crude markets and geopolitical tensions in West Asia. 

Following the latest revision, petrol prices in Delhi crossed the Rs 100 mark, rising by Rs 2.61 to Rs 102.12 per litre, while diesel prices increased by Rs 2.71 to Rs 95.20 per litre. 

Similar hikes were recorded across major metropolitan cities, including Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai, adding to the burden on consumers and transport operators.
