Indraprastha Gas (IGL) has hiked CNG (compressed natural gas) prices in the Delhi to Rs 75.61 per kg. For Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad, CNG price has been hiked to Rs 78.17 per kg, while in Gurugram, it will cost Rs 83.94 per kg.

The firm sees rates staying elevated in the near future due to high international prices of natural gas and the management was looking at cutting operational costs to soften the blow for consumers.

Limited availability of government-controlled gas has forced IGL to use more LNG to meet double-digit growth in CNG and PNG (piped natural gas) demand. This has raised input cost, which is expected to go up as demand rises further.
