Torrent Gas raises CNG price in Pune by Rs 2 per kg
Torrent Gas has increased the price of compressed natural gas (CNG) in the rural areas of Pune by Rs 2 per kg, effective from 12.01 am on 7 October. The revised price is Rs 100.50 per kg, up from the existing Rs 98.50 per kg.
Dhruv Ruparel, president of the Petrol Dealers Association Pune, confirmed the new rate. The hike applies to supplies in the rural parts of the city supplied by Torrent Gas.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The Rs 2 per kg increase pushes CNG past the Rs 100 mark for rural Pune consumers, a psychological threshold that will directly raise fuel costs for households and commercial vehicles in those areas. Torrent Gas is the sole supplier in the region, leaving residents and small transport operators with no alternative fuel option at the same price point. The revision takes effect from 7 October, giving consumers no advance notice to stock up at the old rate.
