LPG, CNG, PNG prices today (September 9): 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.

US-Iran war update

The US and Iran exchanged attacks on Tuesday, sharply escalating tensions and raising fresh concerns over global oil supplies. The US said it struck five Iranian oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman and near Kharg Island after accusing Tehran of targeting a US Navy warship with ballistic missiles.

Iran retaliated with a missile strike on a US base in Jordan, while Iran-backed Houthis attacked several cities in southern Saudi Arabia. US Central Command said the American warship evaded the Iranian attacks and continued operations, with no US personnel injured.

The escalating hostilities have added a fresh geopolitical risk premium to crude markets, pushing oil prices higher for a fourth straight day on Wednesday. Brent crude moved closer to the psychologically important $100-a-barrel mark, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rose to $94.63 a barrel. The latest gains reflect growing fears that a wider regional conflict could disrupt oil flows and further tighten global supplies.
