CNG prices in India have increased by ₹2 per kg in several areas, following a recent hike in petrol and diesel prices. In Delhi, the new price is ₹79.09 per kg, while in Mumbai, it stands at ₹84 per kg. This adjustment comes after Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) raised petrol prices by ₹3.14 per litre and diesel prices by ₹3.11 per litre, with petrol now costing ₹97.77 per litre and diesel ₹90.67 per litre in Delhi. The hikes are attributed to rising global crude oil prices and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil transit route. The situation has led to increased operational costs for auto-rickshaw drivers, taxi operators, and daily commuters who rely on CNG-powered vehicles. Amidst these challenges, India is enhancing naval surveillance to secure fuel supplies, although concerns about future shipments persist.
