Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) on Saturday increased the compressed natural gas (CNG) and piped natural gas (PNG) prices in Delhi and adjacent cities of Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad. This revision will come in effect from 6 am on Sunday, August 29, 2021.
"IGL has revised the retail prices of CNG & PNG to partially offset the increase in the input cost of natural gas being sourced as a result of increased dependence on eight times costlier R-LNG as compared to domestic gas," the Indraprastha Gas Limited said in a tweet.
"While sales volumes have increased substantially, the domestic gas allocation has remained constant due to lower average volumes of previous months," the company further tweeted.
Notably, the natural gas supplier has hiked CNG prices by Rs.45.20 in Delhi while PNG prices were raised by Rs.30.91 per SCM (standard cubic meter).
Other than Delhi, the IGL also hiked CNG and PNG prices in the neighbouring Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad.
