IGL Hikes CNG Price in Delhi by Rs 3.89, Cites West Asia Crisis
· Business · NDTV
Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) has raised the retail price of compressed natural gas (CNG) in Delhi by Rs 3.89 per kilogram, bringing the city rate close to Rs 87 per kg. The company attributed the increase to the ongoing West Asia crisis and a reported blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global LNG and oil shipments. IGL stated that even after the revision, CNG remains among the most economical fuel options for consumers in the national capital. The announcement comes amid heightened volatility in global energy markets triggered by the Middle East conflict.
Why it matters
Commuters, fleet operators and commercial vehicle owners in Delhi-NCR will see their daily fuel expenses rise immediately, while the hike signals how geopolitical tensions in West Asia are feeding directly into household transport costs across India.
