It’s the second time in two days prices have been revised. The last one, back on 15 May 2026, was for Rs 2 per kg and had put us at Rs 79.09. Now with this fresh change, the numbers are up. Noida and Ghaziabad are sitting at Rs 88.70 per kg, as are Gautam Budh Nagar and Greater Noida.
Parts of Haryana and Rajasthan show lower-to-mid bands, while several Uttar Pradesh towns are at the top end. Here are the updated rates in grouped clusters for quick reference:
– Noida, Ghaziabad, Gautam Budh Nagar, Greater Noida: Rs 88.70
– Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, Shamli: Rs 88.58
– Hapur: Rs 89.70
– Gurugram: Rs 85.12
– Rewari: Rs 84.70
– Karnal: Rs 84.43
– Kaithal: Rs 85.43
– Kanpur, Hamirpur, Fatehpur: Rs 91.42
– Ajmer, Pali, Rajsamand: Rs 89.44
– Mahoba, Banda, Chitrakoot: Rs 86.42
What the hike means for your commute
Since most of the cabs and autos out there run on CNG, you can bet it will show up in your fare. For the average commuter, it means steeper bills, especially if you’re making a long run to the airport or an intercity trip. Operators are feeling the pinch on their end, so there is less of a chance you’ll find a good deal during rush hour. When you have two price jumps in a row, aggregators and unions don’t take long to rework the fare slabs.
Here are the key takeaways for riders and operators:
– Re 1 per kg CNG hike across Delhi-NCR
– Follows Rs 2 per kg rise on 15 May 2026
– Effective immediately across outlets
– Delhi at Rs 80.09 per kg
– Autos, taxis, cabs face higher costs
Why prices are rising
Petrol, diesel and the inflation watch
What’s behind it? Global crude has been on a tear, up over 50 per cent since late February on the back of the Iran situation and some trouble in the Strait of Hormuz. For a while, retail prices were kept in check to give consumers some breathing room, but with oil marketing companies under strain, they’ve started to make some hard adjustments. CNG is the latest to be hit, right after petrol and diesel went up by Rs 3 a litre for the first time in four years. (In Delhi, you’re looking at Rs 97.77 for a litre of petrol and Rs 90.67 for diesel.)
What to expect next
The concern is that this kind of fuel cost can work its way into overall inflation. We saw wholesale inflation hit 8.3 per cent in April 2026, a 42-month high, with energy being a big part of that. With CNG rates being tweaked so often, fleet operators will no doubt be the ones to make the next move on fares. It would be wise to plan for a little extra in your budget for now and do a quick check on local CNG prices before you head out.
