In the national capital, New Delhi continued to price compressed natural gas at ₹83.09 per kilogram, positioning it among the most affordable CNG markets in the country. In the National Capital Region, Noida and Ghaziabad both remained steady at ₹91.70 per kilogram, while Gurugram was priced at ₹88.12 per kilogram and Rewari at ₹87.70 per kilogram. Sonipat recorded a rate of ₹94.00 per kilogram, and Meerut stood at ₹91.50 per kilogram.
Further across Uttar Pradesh and adjoining regions, Mathura and Bharatpur were both priced at ₹97.00 per kilogram, while Firozabad recorded the highest rate in the group at ₹98.00 per kilogram. Dewas stood at ₹96.00 per kilogram. In southern India, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad all maintained uniform pricing at ₹97.00 per kilogram, reflecting a consistent premium over Delhi and Mumbai due to variations in gas sourcing, pipeline infrastructure, taxation structures, and distribution costs.
Mumbai held its CNG price steady at ₹86.00 per kilogram, continuing to remain competitively placed among major metropolitan markets. The unchanged pricing trend highlights the absence of immediate pass-through from global input cost fluctuations into retail city gas tariffs.
CNG pricing in India is determined by individual city gas distribution companies and varies significantly across regions. The variation is driven by multiple factors, including the underlying cost of natural gas procurement, pipeline transportation tariffs, applicable taxes and levies, and operating margins of distribution entities. Unlike petrol and diesel, CNG retail rates are not revised on a daily basis. Instead, adjustments are made periodically in response to sustained changes in input costs or regulatory directions issued by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board.
Given the continuing sensitivity of global gas markets to geopolitical developments, particularly around Iranian export dynamics and maritime passage through the Strait of Hormuz, domestic city gas distributors are expected to closely monitor international price trends before considering any future revisions.
