LUCKNOW: Green Gas Limited (GGL) has announced an increase in compressed natural gas (CNG) retail prices across five cities in Uttar Pradesh, effective from 6am on Sunday, citing rising procurement costs of regasified liquefied natural gas (RLNG) amid increased winter demand and global supply uncertainties.Under the revised rates, CNG prices in Lucknow and Agra will increase by Re 1 per kg, from Rs 107 to Rs 108 per kg.Unnao will witness the steepest hike of Rs 2.25 per kg, taking the retail price from Rs 103.75 to Rs 106 per kg.Similarly, CNG prices in Ayodhya and Sultanpur will rise by Re 1 per kg, from Rs 105 to Rs 106 per kg.According to GGL, the revision has been necessitated by elevated RLNG procurement costs, driven by seasonal demand spikes during winter and uncertainties in global gas supplies.The revised prices will affect CNG-powered private vehicles, taxis, autorickshaws and commercial transport operators across the five cities served by the company.
