Apart from Mumbai, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) prices were hiked in Uttar Pradesh's Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad and Haryana's Gurugram as well.

CNG price has gone up by ₹82.12 per kg in Gurugram with effect from November 23, according to the website of Indraprastha Gas Ltd, the firm that retails CNG for automobiles and pipes natural gas to household kitchens for cooking in the national capital and adjoining cities.

Industry sources cited in a news agency PTI report said CNG prices in Delhi may be revised after assembly elections scheduled to be held in January/February.

CNG rates vary from state to state depending upon the incidence of local taxes such as VAT (value-added tax) which varies.

While MGL and IGL did not give reasons for the increase in CNG prices, sources said the hike was necessitated as the firms now have to buy expensive gas following two successive rounds of cuts in supplies of regulated or APM (Administered Price Mechanism) gas.
