City gas distributor Indraprastha Gas Ltd (IGL) on Saturday announced a 4.6 per cent increase in compressed natural gas (CNG) prices across its geographical areas, citing a surge in spot input gas prices.

Following the increase, CNG will be priced at Rs 86.98 per kilogram (kg) in Delhi.

“With international LNG prices remaining elevated and the cost impact becoming increasingly significant, a calibrated revision of ₹3.89 per kg has now become necessary to partially offset the increase in input gas cost while ensuring continuity and reliability of CNG supplies. Even after this revision in CNG prices being effected from 6 AM on 29th Aug 2026, CNG retail price in Delhi continues to be amongst the most economical option for consumers,” the company said in a statement.

IGL added that despite soaring imported spot gas prices, city gas distribution (CGD) entities such as IGL had maintained competitive CNG prices compared with alternative fuels, supporting sustained growth in CNG consumption in India.
