After the approval of the amendment in the 2014 guidelines for fixing the price of natural gas, companies have now started reducing the prices of CNG-PNG.

Adani Total Gas Limited has cut the price of PNG by Rs 8.13 per kg and Rs 5.06 per cubic centimetre. The new prices have come into effect from 12 midnight on April 8.

The revised price of CNG from MGL has been increased to Rs 79 per kg and domestic PNG to Rs 49 per SCM. These new prices have come into effect from the midnight of 7th April.
