CNG prices in Delhi-NCR have seen another increase, rising by Re 1 per kg to ₹80.09, following a Rs 2 hike just two days prior.
NEW DELHI: Residents across Delhi-NCR are facing another fuel price hike as compressed natural gas (CNG) prices were increased again on Sunday, marking the second hike in just two days.With the latest revision, CNG prices in Delhi have risen by Re 1 per kg to Rs 80.09 per kg, while consumers in Noida and Ghaziabad will now pay Rs 88.70 per kg.The fresh increase comes after gas companies had already raised CNG prices by Rs 2 per kg on May 15. Following that revision, the price in Delhi had climbed from Rs 77.09 per kg to Rs 79.09 per kg.The latest hike follows a broader increase in fuel prices across the country. Earlier this week, petrol and diesel prices were raised by Rs 3 per litre amid rising global energy prices linked to the ongoing West Asia conflict.After the revision, petrol in Delhi is retailing at Rs 97.77 per litre, up from Rs 94.77, while diesel prices have increased from Rs 87.67 to Rs 90.67 per litre.State-run oil companies said the increase in CNG prices was part of efforts to offset higher input costs triggered by volatility in international energy markets. However, sources told news agency PTI that the current hikes still cover only a fraction of the surge in global fuel prices since the conflict escalated in West Asia.
