Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: The Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) price in the city has surged to up to ₹97.50 per kg, as Think Gas increased its rate by ₹1.50 per kg ahead of Raksha Bandhan. The fuel is now being sold at ₹97 per kg at company-owned Think Gas stations, while dealership-operated stations charge ₹97.50 per kg. This price hike is across all 31 Think Gas stations in Bhopal, including locations near MANIT, Neelbad, Hoshangabad Road, and Bairagarh Road.
Out of the 152 petrol pumps in the city, 12 offer both CNG and petrol/diesel. Over the past six months, CNG prices have risen by nearly ₹10 per kg, with the rate in Madhya Pradesh standing at around ₹94.55 per kg in June and reaching ₹97.50 by the end of July. Think Gas operates in Bhopal, Rajgarh, and Shivpuri, while GAIL and Avantika supply CNG in other parts of Madhya Pradesh, including Indore, Ujjain, Gwalior, Dewas, Raisen, Shajapur, and Sehore.
Despite price increases, demand for CNG vehicles continues to grow in Bhopal, with sales up by nearly 50% over the past three years, with local showrooms selling 10 to 15 CNG-powered vehicles daily. Buyers favor these vehicles for better mileage and lower running costs compared to petrol and diesel models.
