The city gas distributors have been periodically raising prices since October last year when domestic as well as international gas prices started to climb.
The prices of CNG have risen several times in the last few months. The CNG prices rose by 8.74 per kg in the last three months of 2021 and 50 paise per kg almost every week from January 2022. Fuel prices started picking up after the recent assembly elections in the 5 states.The prices went up after the government doubled the rates of CNG many folds to USD 6.1 per million British thermal unit from April 1. It should be noted that the hike in prices of fuel are influenced by global crude oil prices and the dollar/rupee exchange rate. Currently, Brent crude oil price stands at 111.55 USD and dollar/ rupee exchange is 77.47 INR.
