  "account": "CNG prices in Delhi and surrounding regions surged by ₹3.89 per kilogram on Saturday, raising the cost to ₹86.98 per kilogram in the capital city. This increase follows a previous ₹2 per kilogram rise in late May, prompted by global energy supply disruptions caused by the conflict in West Asia. IGL, a major player in the sector, explained that imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) makes up a significant portion of the gas used to supply CNG. The recent price surge in LNG, driven by the ongoing conflict in West Asia, has led to a strategic revision of ₹3.89 per kilogram to partially counteract the rising input gas costs. Effective from 6 am on Saturday, here are the latest CNG prices in various cities across the Delhi-NCR region according to IGL: Delhi - ₹86.98 per kg; Gurgaon - ₹84.09 per kg; Faridabad - ₹84.09 per kg; Noida - ₹84.09 per kg; Faridabad - ₹84.09 per kg; Ghaziabad - ₹84.09 per kg; Agra - ₹84.09 per kg; Meerut - ₹84.09 per kg. The ongoing tensions in West Asia have disrupted the flow of energy shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route that carries about a fifth of the world's energy requirements. In addition, higher demand for LNG in Europe ahead of the winter season has further exacerbated global prices. CNG-powered vehicles, including passenger and goods transport operators, are heavily dependent on these rising costs. The price hike is anticipated to add to the operational expenses of individuals who rely on CNG for their transportation needs, such as auto-rickshaw drivers and taxi operators. When CNG prices were last increased to ₹88.70 per kilogram in May, auto-rickshaw drivers in Noida had requested a revision, citing the difficulty in making ends meet due to the escalating costs.",
  "summary": "In a statement, IGL said imported LNG accounts for a large share of the gas used to supply CNG. Prices of LNG have risen sharply since the West Asia war.",
