Vadodara Gas Ltd hikes domestic gas price again

VADODARA: Vadodara Gas Ltd (VGL) raised the tariff of domestic piped natural gas (PNG) in the city for the second time since April this year. The company will now charge PNG at Rs 47.15 from earlier Rs 43.7 per unit.
In April 22, it had hiked prices from Rs 35.65 to Rs 43.7 per unit. VGL, however, claimed that its gas was still the cheapest per unit in the state by at least around Rs 8 to Rs 14 per unit as compared to other major city gas companies across Gujarat.
VGL sources said that the consistent rise has been due to the lower supply of administrative price mechanism (APM) gas in the past as well as the rise in the prices of APM gas. The price of APM gas has been raised from $6.14 to $8.05 per metric million British thermal units.
