CNG-PNG Price Hike: Consumers in Jaipur will now have to spend more on compressed natural gas (CNG) and piped natural gas (PNG) after Torrent Gas announced a ₹2 per unit increase in both fuel prices.
The revision has taken effect in Jaipur and does not apply across the country. For households using PNG and vehicle owners relying on CNG, the increase will add to their regular expenses.
CNG and PNG Prices Increase in Jaipur
Following the latest revision, the price of CNG in Jaipur has increased from ₹97.50 per kg to ₹99.50 per kg.
PNG consumers have also been affected by the change. The price of PNG has moved up from ₹51.50 per standard cubic metre (SCM) to ₹53.50 per SCM.
The increase is specific to Jaipur, meaning consumers in other cities will not be affected by this particular price revision.
This Is Not the First Price Increase
The latest ₹2 hike follows an earlier increase in CNG and PNG prices in May this year.
For consumers in Jaipur, the repeated revisions mean that those using PNG for household cooking and CNG-powered vehicles will now have to account for higher fuel expenses.
Impact on Vehicle Owners and Households
The increase in CNG prices will directly raise fuel costs for people using CNG-powered private and commercial vehicles. For commercial vehicle operators, higher operating expenses could also put pressure on transportation costs and fares.
PNG users, meanwhile, will see a rise in their household gas expenses. While the increase is limited to Jaipur, the additional cost could affect monthly budgets for families and businesses that regularly depend on natural gas.
