CNG rates jump Rs 9 in 6 days in NCR after 2 consecutive price hikes
NEW DELHI: Indraprastha Gas Ltd (IGL) raised CNG (compressed natural gas) prices in the Capital and its neighbourhood by Rs 2.50 per kg, the second increase in as many days, because of a two-fold rise in the price of domestic natural gas.
The latest increase has made CNG costlier by more than Rs 9 per kg in six days, which is expected to set off a clamour for higher fares from bus, auto, taxi and goods transport operators.
Costlier CNG in NCR could also impact the prices of daily staples, especially vegetables as these are brought in from Delhi’s neighbourhood and distributed in the city in CNG vehicles.
