The price of CNG has been increased in New Delhi by ₹2.5 per kg to ₹64.11 per kg on Tuesday.

The rise in CNG prices is likely to impact the operations of ride hailers such as Uber and Ola. "In view of the hike in the CNG price, we are not in favour of switching on the cab's air conditioner for passengers. The increased price has hit our budget," a cab driver in New Delhi told news agency ANI after the price hike by the IGL, which retails CNG and piped cooking gas in Delhi-NCR.

India also saw the 13th hike in fuel prices in the last 15 days on Tuesday. Petrol and diesel prices were by 80 paise a litre each as the government continues to underline that the Ukraine war is one of the factors behind the spike.
