After price cut, running cost of a CNG car is now half than that of a petrol car in Delhi
NEW DELHI : If the running cost of a car is taken into account, then driving a CNG-fuelled car is now cheaper by 56% in Delhi as compared to diesel-driven cars while over 33% for diesel-run cars. Indraprastha Gas Ltd (IGL), which supplies CNG in Delhi, has reduced the prices of the automobile fuel with effect from October 3.
IGL said following the price cut, CNG would offer over 56% savings towards the running cost when compared to petrol-driven vehicles at the current level of prices. When compared to diesel driven vehicles, the economics in favour of CNG at revised price would be over 33 per cent, it said.
Following a 12.5% reduction in input natural gas rates, CNG is now cheaper by ₹1.90 per kg in Delhi and by ₹2.15 per kg in Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad.
