Indraprastha Gas (IGL), the sole supplier of CNG to automobiles and piped cooking gas to households in the National Capital Region (NCR), likely to hike CNG price, after petrol, prices of compressed natural gas (CNG) sold to automobiles in the national capital are likely to be hiked by a steep Rs 2 per kg.

IGL is being compelled to buy expensive imported LNG due to drop in supplies from Reliance Industries eastern offshore KG-D6 gas field,  so this cost burden will be transferred to the customer. CNG is now priced at Rs 30.00 per kg in Delhi and Rs 33.60 per kg in Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad. After the price increase, CNG in Delhi will cost Rs 32 per kg and Rs 35.90 per kg in Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad.

The company had contracted 0.308 million standard cubic meters per day (mmscmd) of gas from Reliance at $4.205 per million British thermal unit (mmBtu), but following drop in KG-D6 output supplies have dropped to just 0.1 mmscmd. This has forced the company to buy more of imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) that is priced at over $17 per mmBtu.
