Ahmedabad CNG Price Rises Rs 4.45/kg Amid Rising Gas Costs
CNG prices in Ahmedabad have gone up by Rs 4.45 per kilogram, according to Adani Total Gas Limited (ATGL). The company made the announcement on Friday, pointing to a sharp increase in the cost of natural gas used in its operations.
The revised retail price stands at Rs 98.47 per kilogram. The last increase, of Rs 4 per kilogram, had been implemented in August 2026, when the price rose to Rs 94.20 per kilogram.
The company said that the revision had become necessary as procurement costs for natural gas rose substantially. It linked the rise to geopolitical events, lower domestic gas supply and ongoing disruptions in supply chains.
A spokesperson for ATGL noted that elevated global gas prices, reduced domestic availability and continuous supply cuts had pushed up purchase costs significantly. The spokesperson said the company was keen to contain the impact on customers and maintain uninterrupted CNG supply.
The spokesperson also described CNG as an affordable and environmentally friendly fuel option, adding that the company continues to prioritize consumer interests while managing rising input costs.
According to the company, the weighted average cost of gas used in the CNG sector has increased considerably. This is due to a decline in New Well Gas (NWG) and High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) gas availability, alongside higher spot prices for liquefied natural gas (LNG).
ATGL reported that global spot LNG prices have moved from around 10 to 12 dollars per MMBtu in February 2026 to roughly 30 dollars per MMBtu currently. This has resulted in a major rise in the cost of imported gas.
The company further stated that upstream producers have continued to cut supplies, forcing it to source gas from alternative channels that carry higher prices.
ATGL also said that a recent reduction in NWG allocation has lowered the amount of domestic gas that can be sold for CNG at competitive rates. Additionally, an office memorandum dated October 19, 2026, decreased the HPHT gas volume available for priority sector consumption, further tightening domestic gas supply.
