The increased rates have come into effect from 6 am on October 13. Earlier, Indraprastha Gas Limited had increased the prices on 2 October.
In Delhi, CNG has become costlier by Rs 2.28 per kg and PNG has become costlier by Rs 2.10 per SCM. 12 days ago also the same increase in the rate of CNG was done.
In Delhi, CNG will now be available at ₹ 49.76 per kg instead of ₹ 47.48 per kg. The price of CNG in Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad adjacent to Delhi has gone up to ₹ 56.02 per kg. At the same time, the price of CNG in Gurugram has gone up to ₹ 58.20 per kg.

For the common man troubled by the increased prices of petrol and diesel, it is like a double whammy of inflation. Common people say that people use CNG more due to it being a cheap fuel. But if the price of CNG continues to increase like this, then the situation will be the same as the price of petrol and diesel and inflation will continue to rise.
