CNG prices surge past Rs 80 per kg in Delhi for the first time. Indraprastha Gas Limited implemented a Re 1 per kg increase effective Sunday, marking the second hike in 48 hours following a Rs 2 increase on Friday. Delhi's CNG now stands at Rs 80.09 per kg. The back-to-back increases come as petrol and diesel prices also rose by nearly Rs 3 per litre, with petrol at Rs 97.77 and diesel at Rs 90.67 per litre in the national capital. These consecutive fuel price hikes are driven by escalating Middle East tensions and disruptions to the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy corridor handling 20% of world oil and gas trade. Global crude oil prices have surged from around $70 to over $100 per barrel. The increases will significantly impact daily commuters, cab drivers, auto-rickshaw operators, and logistics sectors across India.
