CNG Prices Raised by ₹2 Per Kg Across Markets
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) prices have been increased by ₹2 per kilogram with effect from May 26, adding to the recent rise in fuel costs amid elevated global energy prices and supply concerns.
CNG prices across parts of India have been increased by ₹2 per kilogram effective from May 26, continuing the upward trend in fuel prices seen over recent days.
The latest revision comes amid sustained pressure on global energy markets due to geopolitical tensions, rising import costs and fluctuations in international fuel prices.
The increase in CNG rates is expected to impact transportation costs, particularly for public transport vehicles, taxis, auto-rickshaws and commercial fleets that depend heavily on compressed natural gas as a fuel source.
The hike follows recent increases in petrol and diesel prices as oil and gas marketing companies continue adjusting retail rates in response to elevated energy costs and supply-side uncertainties.
Industry analysts believe higher fuel prices could contribute to inflationary pressures, especially in urban transportation and logistics sectors. Consumers and transport operators are likely to closely monitor future revisions depending on developments in global energy markets.
