GURUGRAM: Around 20,000 consumers availing Piped natural gas services from
Haryana City gas
in
Gurugram will be charged higher for their connections as HCG has hiked the rates in wake of skyrocketing fuel rates across the country. On the heels of soaring international oil rates, petrol prices hit a four year high on Monday leading to a revision of administered pricing mechanism (APM) by Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas (MoPNG).
Taking a cue, the HCG has hiked the rates of CNG by 1 Rs/kg and
PNG
(household) by RS 1.25 per standard cubic meters (scm). HCG does not vend the cylinders. It provides PNG services to household in the city and has around 25 CNG stations across Gurgaon for automobiles.
“Keeping in view of recent increase in APM Price by Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas (MoPNG),
Haryana City Gas Distribution Ltd
has increased the CNG and PNG (Household) price with effect from 3rd April, 2018 from 6 am onwards,” a handout from the HCG read. “The new CNG and PNG (Household) prices would be as follows: CNG - Rs. 47.75/Kg and PNG (Household) - Rs. 27.75/SCM. The increase in CNG price would be Rs. 1.00/kg and that of PNG (Household) would be Rs. 1.25/SCM.”
