The latest revision, effective from midnight of October 2, has taken the retail price to ₹90.75 per kg.

Officials said the increase was necessitated by a rise in the input cost of natural gas.

The revision will not impact domestic piped natural gas (PNG) prices, which remain unchanged.

In the current year, the CNG price was increased by ₹2 in January, followed by another ₹3 hike in June.

Officials said the frequent revisions were primarily due to volatility in global gas procurement costs.
