The Hindu
PSU fuel retailers will watch the evolving situation internationally for a couple of more days before revising rates, three officials said.
CNG price in the national capital and adjoining cities on Tuesday was hiked by ₹0.50 per kg, while an imminent increase in petrol and diesel price has been put on wait-and-watch mode for more clarity on global oil prices.
CNG price in NCT of Delhi has been increased to ₹57.51 per kg from ₹56.51, according to the information posted on the website of Indraprastha Gas Ltd—the firm which retails CNG and piped cooking gas in the national capital.
Following the firming up of international gas rates, IGL has been raising CNG rates by up to 50 paise (₹0.50) per kg periodically. Prices have gone up by about ₹4 per kg this year alone.
Apart from Delhi, CNG will be ₹1 per kg more expensive in Noida, Greater Noida, and Ghaziabad. From Tuesday, it will cost ₹59.58 per kg.
Rates differ from state to state depending on the incidence of local taxes.
There is no rate change in Mumbai, where CNG costs ₹66 per kg.
IGL has not changed the price of piped cooking gas supplied to household kitchens.
