Delhi-based Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) on Wednesday hiked CNG prices in the national capital by ₹2.5 per kg. The retail cost of CNG in Delhi now stands at ₹66.61 per kg, with a total surge of ₹6.6 per kg over the span of five days. For the neighbouring Ghaziabad, Noida and Greater Noida, the CNG fuel is being sold at ₹69.18 per kg, while in Gurugram, the price went up to ₹74.94 per kg.
Here are the latest CNG rates:
Delhi – ₹66.61 per kg

Karnal and Kaithal – ₹75.27 per kg
Kanpur, Hamirpur and Fatehpur – ₹78.40 per kg

The price hike comes in response to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. The rise in CNG prices is likely to impact the operations of ride hailers such as Uber and Ola.
