New Delhi, May 21: Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) on Saturday hiked the price of CNG (compressed natural gas) in Delhi by Rs 2 per kg, taking the rate to Rs 75.61 per kg.
The revised rates will take effect from Saturday itself.

According to the Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL), the rates will stay elevated in the near future due to soaring international prices of natural gas. The firm also said that management was looking at cutting operational costs to soften the blow for consumers.
