IGL has raised CNG prices by Rs 2 per kg for the fourth time in 11 days, bringing Delhi's rate to Rs 83.09 per kg
The total increase since 15 May 2026 stands at Rs 6 per kg, with revised prices effective across Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan
Delhi CNG Rate Climbs to Rs 83.09 Per Kg After the Latest Revision
Indraprastha Gas Limited has raised its CNG prices by Rs 2 per kg, marking its fourth upward revision in under a fortnight. The latest increase, which came into effect on 26 May 2026, pushes the CNG rate in Delhi to Rs 83.09 per kg and brings the cumulative hike to Rs 6 per kg since 15 May.
The revision is not limited to Delhi; motorists relying on IGL pumps in Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan are equally affected.
The pace of these revisions has been unusually brisk. The first increase of Rs 2 per kg arrived on 15 May, followed by a further Rs 1 per kg rise on 17 May and another Rs 1 per kg addition on 23 May. The latest Rs 2 per kg jump completes a four-step escalation that will weigh noticeably on the monthly running costs of anyone depending on a CNG vehicle.
How Much CNG Costs Across IGL-Served Regions Right Now
Rates Vary from Rs 83.09 Per Kg in Delhi to Rs 94.42 Per Kg in Parts of Uttar Pradesh
Delhi remains the most affordable region within the IGL network, but the gap is narrowing across states. Drivers in Gurugram will find rates sitting at Rs 88.12 per kg, while those in Noida and Greater Noida are now paying Rs 91.70 per kg.
Meerut comes in at Rs 91.58 per kg, and Hapur at Rs 92.70 per kg. In Rajasthan, both Ajmer and Pali are priced at Rs 92.44 per kg. The highest rate across the entire IGL network belongs to Kanpur, Fatehpur, and Hamirpur in Uttar Pradesh, where CNG now costs Rs 94.42 per kg.
Why Prices Keep Rising and What IGL Has Said
Higher Input Gas Costs and a Stronger Dollar Are Driving the Upward Pressure
IGL is yet to issue a formal statement specifically addressing the 26 May revision. However, following the previous increase on 23 May, the company stated that the price adjustment was made to partially offset the impact of rising input gas costs, compounded by what it described as a steep appreciation of the US dollar. Until those underlying pressures ease, there is little reason to expect prices to stabilise in the short term.
Petrol and Diesel Are Up Sharply Across the Country Too
CNG is not the only fuel costing more. As per the Indian Oil Corporation, petrol in Delhi currently stands at Rs 102.12 per litre and diesel at Rs 95.20 per litre, following a nationwide increase of nearly Rs 3 per litre that took effect on 25 May 2026.
Taken together, the back-to-back fuel increases paint a picture of a particularly difficult few weeks for Indian motorists, regardless of whether they drive on petrol, diesel, or gas.
