CNG price hike
IGL did not provide any reasons for the price hike but reports say that a sharp dip in domestic supplies has forced the provider to buy more imported gas, prompting the increase in rates.
Natural gas pumped out of the ground and seabed is turned into CNG for running automobiles. But supplies from ONGC’s domestic fields have not kept pace with the CNG demand.
Gas from ONGC fields make up for 66-67 per cent of CNG demand of IGL. The rest has to be imported.
Domestic gas supplies are prioritized for piped cooking gas purposes and so there is no hike in that segment, new agency PTI reported, citing sources.
