PremiumAdani Gas Ltd on Wednesday announced reduction in prices of compressed natural gas (CNG) and piped natural gas (PNG) used for cooking in household kitchens, in line with a cut in raw material rates.
The firm, which retails CNG to automobiles in some districts of Haryana, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh, cut CNG rates between ₹1.5 per kg to ₹3.6 per kg.
The rate of natural gas piped to household kitchens for cooking purposes has been cut by Re 1 per standard cubic meter (scm), the company said in a statement.
Adani Gas said while CNG price in Mahendragarh district of Haryana has been cut by ₹3.6 per kg to ₹54.20 per kg, the reduction in Faridabad and Palwal districts of the states will be ₹2.75 per kg to ₹48.02 per kg.

The lowest reduction of Re 1.5 is in Bhind in Madhya Pradesh and Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh where the CNG will now cost ₹63.40 per kg.
Adani Gas said PNG price in Haryana and Gujarat has been cut by Re 1 per scm to ₹29.84 per scm and ₹29.09 per scm respectively.
Indraprastha Gas Ltd (IGL) had last week cut CNG price in Delhi by ₹3.20 to ₹42 per kg.
In adjoining Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad, the reduction by IGL was ₹3.60 to ₹47.75 per kg.

Natural gas gets converted into CNG on compression and is also supplied for lighting cooking stoves through pipes.
