CNG prices in Delhi-NCR have now been increased for the third time in recent days. With the latest Rs 2 per kilogram hike, the total increase in CNG prices has reached Rs 6 per kg in just 12 days. After petrol and diesel became more expensive, CNG is also putting extra pressure on the budgets of common people and daily commuters across the region.

Auto and taxi unions have also warned that rising fuel costs could lead to higher passenger fares and transport charges in the coming days.
