India's largest city gas retailer, Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL), announced on Wednesday a reduction of 70 paise per Standard Cubic Meter (SCM) in the price of domestic Piped Natural Gas (PNG) across Delhi and the NCR cities.
This price cut follows recent revisions to pipeline tariffs implemented by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB). Prior to this, Think Gas had also announced price reductions for CNG and domestic PNG across several states, ahead of the new tariff regime coming into effect on January 1, 2026.
On December 16, the PNGRB announced a rationalised and simplified tariff structure for pipelines involved in the transportation of natural gas. Natural gas is utilised for power generation, fertilizer manufacturing, and as fuel for CNG and domestic kitchens. The revised tariffs will be effective from January 1, making gas transportation simpler, fairer, and more affordable for consumers and the City Gas Distribution sector.
Revised Rates After Reduction Will Be As Follows:
| City / Region (Delhi & NCR) | New PNG Price (Rs per SCM) |
|---|---|
| Delhi (NCT of Delhi) | Rs 47.89 |
| Gurugram (Haryana) | Rs 46.70 |
| Noida (UP) | Rs 47.76 |
| Greater Noida (UP) | Rs 47.76 |
| Ghaziabad (UP) | Rs 47.76 |
What Changed?
Previously, natural gas transportation was divided into three tariff categories, where transportation charges increased as the distance increased. These charges directly impacted the prices of CNG and PNG. The PNGRB has now decided to restructure the tariffs into two zones: those within 300 km and those beyond 300 km.
