Delhi CNG Surges to ₹80.09/kg after 2nd hike in 48 hours
Delhi's CNG price jumps to ₹80.09 per kg after a second hike in 48 hours, keeping fuel costs on a rising trend amid global energy volatility.
Delhi's CNG price rose by ₹1 per kg to ₹80.09 on Sunday, marking the second hike in 48 hours. The back-to-back increases follow a ₹2 rise two days earlier and come as fuel prices across India move higher amid volatile global energy markets.
The price spike draws political reactions; Congress accused the government of a 'cash collection' drive, while authorities cite global energy costs and supply factors tied to the West Asia conflict and broader market volatility.
The impact on commuters, transport operators, and households is likely to rise. CNG affects buses, auto-rickshaws, and private vehicles relying on compressed natural gas as a cleaner alternative. The repeated hikes could squeeze budgets for daily commuters and increase operating costs for transport services.
While the latest revision keeps Delhi in the spotlight, other states are watching price movements as global energy turmoil continues; analysts say the pace of changes could slow if energy markets stabilize, though current conditions suggest further adjustments may be possible in coming weeks.
