IGL Hikes CNG Price Today: Rate in Delhi Hits ₹83.09 Per Kg

Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) on Tuesday raised compressed natural gas (CNG) prices by ₹2 per kg, marking the fourth increase in just 11 days and pushing the rate in Delhi to ₹83.09 per kg which is a cumulative jump of ₹6 per kg since 15 May 2026.

The latest revision follows three earlier hikes: ₹2 per kg on 15 May, ₹1 per kg on 17 May, and a further ₹1 per kg on 23 May. The increases apply across all of IGL's operating markets, with prices now varying between ₹83.09 per kg and ₹94.42 per kg depending on location.

The highest rates are being recorded in Kanpur, Fatehpur and Hamirpur, where consumers are now paying ₹94.42 per kg.

Customers in Noida, Ghaziabad and Greater Noida are now being charged ₹91.70 per kg, while those in Gurugram will pay ₹88.12 per kg. In Ajmer, the revised rate stands at ₹92.44 per kg. Elevated prices are similarly in effect at IGL pumps in Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan.

IGL is yet to issue a formal statement on this latest revision. Following the previous hike on 23 May, however, the company said that "the revision in retail prices of CNG has been effected only to marginally offset the impact of the increase in input gas cost along with a steep appreciation of USD."

The CNG increases come alongside broader fuel price pressures. According to the Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL), petrol and diesel in Delhi currently stand at ₹102.12 per litre and ₹95.20 per litre respectively, following a nationwide rise of nearly ₹3 per litre on 25 May 2026.

Global energy supply chains have been under significant strain, with natural gas and LPG supplies disrupted by turbulence in international trade routes. 

Central to the crisis is the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most strategically critical shipping corridors, which handles approximately 20 per cent of global liquefied natural gas trade. Any prolonged disruption to the route poses a substantial risk to energy markets globally, with the potential to intensify pressure on natural gas flows and global pricing.

With the conflict responsible for the disruption now entering its third month, analysts believe energy prices are likely to remain elevated. There are growing concerns that crude oil could stay above the $100-per-barrel mark should conditions around the strait persist.
