Delhi commuters, your next CNG refill is set to cost a little more!Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) raised rates by Re 1 per kg across its network on Sunday, marking the second hike in just 48 hours. With the latest revision effective from 6:00 am on Sunday, CNG prices in Delhi climbed to Rs 80.09 per kg, breaching the Rs 80-mark for the first time. The increase comes two days after IGL had already raised CNG prices by Rs 2 per kg on Friday, when Delhi’s CNG rate had moved to Rs 79.09 per kg. The back-to-back hikes are set to increase transportation expenses for private vehicle owners, cab drivers and public transport users who rely on CNG as a relatively economical fuel option.Here’s how much CNG costs in your city:
Petrol and diesel prices
The CNG revision comes two days after fuel prices were hiked. Earlier on Friday, the Centre announced an increase in petrol and diesel prices, raising petrol and diesel by around Rs 3 per litre in the national capital.Following the revision, petrol in Delhi is now retailing at Rs 97.77 per litre, while diesel costs Rs 90.67 per litre.
PNG prices
As petrol, diesel and CNG prices are seeing price hikes, domestic piped natural gas (PNG) prices remain unchanged from April 1, 2026 rates.
The consecutive hikes in CNG, petrol and diesel come amid mounting pressure on global energy markets due to escalating tensions in the Middle East and the continued blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy corridor through which nearly one-fifth of the world’s oil and gas trade passes.Supply concerns linked to disruptions in this narrow passage have pushed global crude prices sharply upward, intensifying pricing pressures domestically.However, even as petrol, diesel and CNG prices have seen revisions, the amount is far lower when compared to global crude prices, which have gone from $70 before the conflict to over $100 per barrel now. India has managed to contain the increase in petrol and diesel prices despite a steep surge in international crude oil prices. While many countries recorded fuel price increases ranging from 20 per cent to nearly 100%, India’s petrol and diesel prices rose by only 3.2% and 3.4 %, respectively.
