CNG Price in India – Complete Guide
CNG prices in India vary by location and the city gas distribution company supplying the area. For private car owners, cab drivers and commercial vehicle operators, these differences can affect everyday running costs.
Our CNG Price Tool helps you check the latest available rates for the locations listed on this page. Use it to compare regional prices, monitor revisions and estimate your fuel budget.
CNG is sold by weight, so its retail price is shown in rupees per kilogram (₹/kg).
How CNG Prices Are Determined in India
CNG pricing depends on the cost of natural gas and the expenses involved in supplying it to vehicles:
Natural Gas Procurement Costs: Suppliers’ gas sourcing costs influence the retail rate.
Domestic and Imported Gas Mix: The proportion and cost of different gas supplies can affect overall procurement expenses.
USD–INR Exchange Rate: Dollar-linked gas purchases can become more or less expensive as exchange rates change.
Transportation, Compression and Distribution: Moving gas through the supply network, compressing it and operating stations adds to costs.
Applicable Taxes and Levies: Taxes contribute to the final retail price.
Supplier Pricing Decisions: Local gas distributors determine retail prices based on their costs and commercial decisions.
CNG revisions follow the local supplier’s announcements rather than a uniform nationwide daily revision schedule.
How the CNG Price Tool Works
CNG Prices in Major Cities
Compare the listed CNG rates for covered cities, including metro locations where data is available.
Check the location carefully, as prices may differ between a metro city and nearby areas.
State-Wise and City-Wise CNG Listings
Use the listings to find the relevant location. CNG prices can vary within the same state because different areas may have different suppliers and supply costs.
A price listing is a reference for the specified location; it does not confirm that CNG is available at every fuel station nearby.
Price Changes and Update Dates
Check the displayed date and any available price-change information. A rate may remain unchanged until the supplier announces a revision.
Where a daily change is displayed, it compares the listed rate with the previous day. It does not imply that CNG prices are revised daily.
How to Use This Tool Effectively
-
Plan Your Monthly Budget: Calculate expected CNG consumption using your driving distance and actual mileage in km/kg.
-
Estimate Cab or Fleet Expenses: Apply local CNG rates to each vehicle’s expected consumption.
-
Prepare for Long Journeys: Check prices alongside station locations, operating hours and your vehicle’s usable range.
-
Compare Running Costs: Calculate cost per kilometre for each fuel and vehicle rather than comparing the displayed fuel prices alone.
CNG cost per kilometre = CNG price per kg ÷ Mileage in km/kg
For example, at an assumed ₹80/kg and mileage of 25km/kg, the CNG cost would be ₹3.20/km. Travelling 1,000km would cost approximately ₹3,200 for CNG alone. Allow separately for any petrol consumed by a bi-fuel vehicle. These figures are illustrative.
Why CNG Prices Differ Across Cities and States
Gas sourcing costs, distribution expenses, applicable taxes and supplier pricing decisions can all create regional differences.
There is no single CNG price that applies across India or necessarily throughout a state. Check the rate for your specific location before estimating expenses.
How CNG Prices Affect Your Running Costs
The effect of a price revision depends on your monthly gas consumption. For example, a ₹2/kg increase adds ₹100 to the fuel bill of a vehicle consuming 50kg a month.
When comparing CNG with petrol or diesel, use realistic mileage figures for each vehicle. Include petrol use, maintenance and any additional vehicle purchase cost when assessing total ownership expenses.
