Adani Total Gas raises CNG price by ₹4.45 per kg
The Story in Brief
Adani Total Gas Ltd has raised CNG prices by ₹4.45 per kg across its outlets, citing surging international LNG prices, reduced domestic gas availability and upstream supply curtailments. The company said global spot LNG prices have risen to around $30 per MMBtu from $10 to 12 in February 2026. CNG at its Ahmedabad outlet now costs ₹98.47 per kg, ₹102.60 in Faridabad and ₹100 in Jalandhar.
ATGL attributed the revision to reduced availability of New Well Gas from ONGC fields and lower supplies of HPHT gas following a government order. The company described the adjustment as a calibrated measure to partly offset higher procurement costs while maintaining uninterrupted supply. It said supply curtailments by upstream producers had created a sourcing gap that needed to be met through alternative sources.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both outlets carry identical text, attributing the ₹4.45 per kg CNG price hike by Adani Total Gas to surging global LNG prices ($10 to 12 in February 2026 to around $30 per MMBtu currently), reduced domestic gas from ONGC fields, and supply curtailments after a government order on HPHT gas. Neither outlet independently verifies the company's claims or adds third-party comment from regulators, consumer groups, or analysts. The uniform coverage reproduces ATGL's reasoning without challenge, leaving the reader with only the company's framing that the hike is a calibrated measure to sustain supplies. The absence of any critical sourcing means the story functions as corporate disclosure reporting. The implied watch item is whether city gas distributors across the board will follow ATGL's lead.
