Indraprastha Gas Limited hiked CNG prices by ₹2 per kg across Delhi-NCR and other areas it serves from 6:00 AM on May 26, the fourth revision in approximately two weeks as rising global natural gas prices continue to push up fuel costs across India.
The earlier rounds of increases came on May 15 (₹2 per kg), May 17 (₹1 per kg), and May 23 (₹1 per kg). Tuesday’s hike takes the cumulative increase since mid-May to ₹6 per kg across IGL-served areas.

The hikes have been driven by elevated global crude and natural gas prices following the US-Israel strikes on Iran and disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The increases arrive alongside the fourth round of petrol and diesel price hikes on May 25, which pushed Delhi petrol above ₹102 per litre, adding to the fuel cost burden on households, commercial vehicle operators, and last-mile delivery fleets.
