Cab drivers in Mumbai are voicing their frustrations following a ₹2 increase in Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) prices, which now stand at ₹86 per kg. Drivers like Faiz Khan and Maan Singh Nikam expressed that the rise in fuel costs is not matched by an increase in passenger fares, leading to significant financial strain. Khan highlighted that their earnings are not keeping pace with rising expenses, stating, 'The fares we used to get are still the exact same.' Nikam noted that this is the third price hike in CNG, emphasizing that their actual income remains low as they spend more on fuel. Another driver, Shakeel Ahmed, echoed these sentiments, indicating that customers refuse to pay more despite the increased costs, which he believes is contributing to ongoing inflation. Meanwhile, in New Delhi, CNG prices have also risen by ₹2.61 to ₹102.12 per litre, marking a troubling trend for drivers across the region.
