Following the roll-out of the GST, state-run Indraprastha Gas Ltd (IGL) hiked the price of CNG in Delhi by Rs 1.11 per kg, and of piped natural gas (PNG) to households by 33 paise per unit, effective Wednesday, to account for increase in tax under the pan-India indirect tax regime.
In Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad, the revision would result in an increase in CNG of Rs 1.27 per kg.
The new consumer price of CNG will be Rs 38.76 per kg in Delhi and Rs 44.42 per kg in Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad.
The company said it would continue to offer the discount of Rs 1.50 per kg on CNG filling between 12.30 am and 5.30 am at select outlet
The price of PNG was also raised from Rs 24.86 per standard cubic meter (scm) to Rs 25.19 per scm in Delhi.
Owing to a different tax structure in Uttar Pradesh, the price of domestic PNG in Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad would be Rs 26.73 per scm, an increase of 36 paise per scm from existing Rs 26.37 per scm.
For autos, the increase would be 3 paise per km, for taxis it would be 5 paise per km, and in the case of buses, the increase would be 32 paise per km
