Gujarat Gas Hikes CNG Price by Rs 2

Surat: Gujarat Gas has increased the price of CNG by ₹2 per kg, with the revised rates coming into effect on Monday.

Following the hike, CNG in Surat will now cost ₹85.01 per kg. The increase is expected to impact thousands of auto-rickshaw drivers, school van operators, and private vehicle owners who rely on CNG as a more affordable alternative to petrol and diesel.

Auto-rickshaw operators say the higher fuel cost will reduce their daily earnings and may eventually force them to seek a fare revision. School transport operators are also likely to face higher operating costs, which could be passed on to parents.

The latest hike is expected to increase monthly fuel expenses for commuters and small businesses that depend on CNG-powered vehicles. DeshGujarat
