In not so positive development for Delhites, Compressed natural gas (CNG), whose price was last cut by Rs 14.90 per kg in February is going to witness a price rise and will now cost Rs 38.15 per kg as against the current rate of Rs 35.20 in the national capital. Besides, the rates of piped natural gas (PNG) that households use for cooking was hiked by Re 1 per standard cubic meters (scm). Thus, the new consumer price of PNG to households in Delhi has been revised from Rs 24.50 per scm to Rs 25.50 per scm up to consumption of 36 scm in two months. However, beyond consumption of 36 scm in two months, the applicable rate in Delhi would be Rs 48 per scm.
Meanwhile, due to differential tax structure in Uttar Pradesh, CNG will cost Rs 43.50 in neighboring Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad, while PNG to households in Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad would cost Rs 27.30 per scm for consumption of 36 scm in two months, up from existing Rs 26.20 per scm and beyond consumption of 36 scm in two months, the rate applicable in these cities would be Rs 48.75 per scm.
Indraprastha Gas (IGL), the sole city gas distributor (CGD) in the national capital region was forced to revise the retail price of CNG and PNG mainly due to increase in the overall input cost of natural gas being sourced by the company.
Last time the price of CNG was hiked on December 27, 2013, when it was raised by Rs 4.50 per kg, while prices of cooking gas piped to kitchens (PNG) were also increased by Rs 5.15. However, this was followed by a steep cut of Rs 14.90 per kg in CNG rates and Rs 5 per unit in PNG prices as government increased allocation of cheaper domestic gas to IGL.
