Adani Total Gas has reduced the prices of piped CNG and natural gas by Rs 4 per kg/ SCM as the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board’s recent rationalised tariff structure takes effect. The Adani Group and Total Energies joint venture company supplies CNG and PNG gas to household kitchens and gas stations across various markets in India.
Earlier, on December 16, the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board announced a rationalised tariff structure for pipelines, making natural gas transportation simpler, fairer, and more cost-effective for consumers and the city gas distribution sector.
Price cuts across geographies
ATGL stated that the price reduction varies by geography, depending on the transportation zones. In Gujarat and the adjoining areas of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, CNG prices have been reduced by Rs 0.50 to Rs 1.90 per kg, while the domestic PNG cost has decreased by up to Rs 1.10 per standard cubic metre.
In Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana-NCR, northern Madhya Pradesh, and bordering Uttar Pradesh, the CNG price has been reduced by Rs 1.40 to Rs 2.55 per kg, while domestic PNG is also reduced by Rs 1.10 to Rs 4.00 per SCM.
In Central and Eastern India, CNG prices fall by Rs 1.81 to Rs 4.05 per kg, and domestic PNG are down by up to Rs 4.00 per SCM.
Indraprastha Gas Ltd, India’s largest city gas retailer, has cut prices of natural gas piped into household kitchens (PNG) for cooking in Delhi and NCR towns by Rs 0.70 per standard cubic metre (scm), while Think Gas has reduced CNG prices by Rs 2.50 per kg and that of PNG by up to Rs 5 per scm.
Why are prices cut down?
Effective January 1, 2026, PNGRB’s new tariff order has consolidated three gas transportation zones into two, applying a uniform Zone-1 tariff of Rs 54 per million British thermal unit for the domestic PNG and CNG-transport segments nationwide.
The simplified structure removes regional inefficiencies and directly translates into lower consumer prices.
“We welcome PNGRB’s landmark initiative to simplify and rationalise gas transportation charges, a move that directly benefits millions of consumers who rely on CNG for their vehicles and piped natural gas for their homes”, Suresh P Manglani, ED and CEO, ATGL, said
“By making natural gas more affordable and accessible, this reform will encourage wider adoption of cleaner fuels across households and the transportation sector,” Manglani added.
Besides ATGL, GAIL Gas Ltd has also announced a Rs 1 reduction in CNG and PNG prices.
