CNG Price Hike: The prices of compressed natural gas (CNG) have been increased from Sunday (November 16), with the new rates applying to some major cities, NDTV Profit reported, citing Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL), a natural gas distribution company that supplies gas for cooking and vehicular fuel. The hike averages Rs 1 per kg across Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, and Kanpur.
The price hike will be effective from 6:00 AM on Nov 16, 2025.
City-Wise Revised CNG Rates
- Kanpur GA from Rs 87.92 per kg to Rs 88.92 per kg
- Noida & Greater Noida GA from Rs 84.70 per kg to Rs 85.70 per kg
- Ghaziabad GA (except Hapur) from Rs 84.70 per kg to Rs 85.70 per kg
The price hike might increase transportation costs for buses, auto-rickshaws, and taxis, potentially leading to higher fares for passengers as the companies attribute the hike to rising gas procurement costs.
As per the report, IGL stated that the prices have been revised because of the fluctuations in natural gas procurement costs and to ensure operational stability.
Several false claims have been circulating on social media platforms, but so far, the changes are only for the above-mentioned cities. The customers are advised to check the official website for further announcements.
