To make CNG used as fuel in automobiles, natural gas is being compressed first. The same gas is also piped to household kitchens and industries for cooking as well as other purposes.

Domestic PNG (piped natural gas) price has also increased by Rs 5 per Standard Cubic Metre (SCM) on 1 April, partially covering the hike in input gas cost, IGL said. The applicable price in Delhi would be Rs 41.61 per SCM (including VAT), where as in Ghaziabad and Noida, the domestic PNG price has been raised by Rs 5.85 to Rs 41.71 per SCM.

IGL sources natural gas from domestic fields and also purchases imported LNG. In the spot or current market, LNG touched record highs in recent months and on 31 March 2022, the government raised the price of gas produced from local fields to a record $6.10 per million British thermal unit from $2.9.
