CNG prices hiked by ₹1.50/kg

PUBLIC OUTRAGE: This is the fourth price increase within a year, with vehicle owners now paying ₹79.26 per kg, up from ₹77.76 just 30 days ago

Ahmedabad - Gujarat Gas Company Limited, a subsidiary of the Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation (GSPC), has announced yet another price hike of ₹1.50 per kg for Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), effective January 1, 2025. This marks the fourth price increase within a year, with vehicle owners now paying ₹79.26 per kg, up from ₹77.76 just 30 days ago.

The move has sparked widespread discontent among the state's 22 lakh CNG vehicle owners, who have already borne the brunt of multiple price hikes. The company had previously raised prices by ₹1 per kg on July 24 and August 1, followed by ₹1.50 on December 1. In just six months, the cumulative increase has reached ₹5 per kg, significantly impacting household budgets and commercial operations.
