LPG, CNG, PNG prices today (September 8): Check latest rates in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, other cities

LPG, CNG, PNG prices today: Concerns over LPG and PNG prices continue amid uncertainty over supplies, as CNG prices are increased in Delhi and neighbouring cities. This comes even as the government is seeking to reduce dependence on imported cooking gas, secure supplies from alternative sources, strengthen domestic LPG availability and expand piped natural gas connections.

Mahanagar Gas Ltd (MGL) has raised CNG prices in Mumbai by ₹2 per kg to ₹88 per kg, effective September 1. The company has also increased domestic piped natural gas (DPNG) prices by ₹1 per SCM. The hike follows Indraprastha Gas Ltd’s (IGL) recent ₹3.89 per kg increase in Delhi, taking CNG prices to ₹86.98 per kg from ₹83.09 per kg. IGL cited a sharp rise in international LNG prices due to the renewed West Asia crisis and disruptions to gas shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.

With the latest increase, Delhi’s CNG prices have risen by nearly ₹10 per kg this year, from ₹77.09 per kg in January. CNG prices vary across states depending on factors such as local VAT and taxes.

Govt looks to diversify

To cut subsidy expenditure, the government has approved an incentive scheme for city gas distributors to increase domestic PNG connections from September 1, 2026. States and Union Territories have been asked to provide district-level administrative support to speed up the shift from LPG to piped gas. At the same time, India is turning more sharply to the United States for LPG and LNG supplies amid disruption in West Asia.

Iran threatened on Monday to retaliate against any new US attacks on its assets, warning that energy infrastructure across the Gulf, including US oil ​and gas interests, was vulnerable. "Strike our assets and you get struck," Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqher Ghalibaf said after US and Iranian strikes on shipping at the ‌weekend that pushed oil prices up near six-week highs on Monday.

The latest threat underscores the risks of further escalation after the sides traded blows again at the weekend, with no sign of progress towards a diplomatic breakthrough that could end more than six months of conflict and restore normal energy flows through the Gulf.
