New Delhi: Compressed natural gas (CNG) prices across Delhi and neighbouring cities will increase by Rs 3.89 per kg starting Saturday, Indraprastha Gas Ltd announced on Friday.

In a statement, IGL noted that a major portion of the raw gas used for CNG supply is sourced via imported liquefied natural gas (LNG), with rates in the spot market experiencing a surge since the onset of the West Asia conflict.

"With international LNG prices remaining elevated and the cost impact becoming increasingly significant, a calibrated revision of Rs 3.89 per kg has now become necessary to partially offset the increase in input gas cost," IGL stated, confirming that the revised CNG rates take effect from 6 a.m. on Saturday.
