Adani CNG crosses Rs 100 per kg in Ahmedabad for first time
The Story in Brief
Adani CNG price in Ahmedabad crossed Rs 100 per kg for the first time on Thursday, 5 November, after a hike of Rs 2.30 brought it to Rs 100.77 per kg. The Federation of Gujarat Petroleum Dealers Association (FGPDA) treasurer Tansukh Patel confirmed the increase, noting that petrol in the city costs Rs 101.83 per litre, narrowing the gap between the two fuels.
Ahmedabad has around 50 Adani CNG stations. In Vadodara, CNG prices rose to Rs 98.95 per kg, according to FGPDA president Mehul Patel. The source does not mention any statement from Adani or the government on the hike.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Adani CNG crossing Rs 100 per kg in Ahmedabad directly links CNG and petrol prices, narrowing the gap that had made CNG the cheaper alternative for commercial and private vehicle owners. The FGPDA confirms the gap is now less than Rs 1 per kg, which may push more fueling decisions toward petrol if the trend holds. The association’s figures cover only Ahmedabad and Vadodara, leaving open whether other cities will see similar hikes. No state or central government response is cited, and no timeline for a possible reversal is given in the source.
