Indraprastha Gas Ltd (IGL), the country’s largest city gas distributor, on Wednesday announced a cut of Rs 0.70 in the price of piped natural gas (PNG) supplied to households in Delhi and NCR.
The revised rates will come into effect from January 1, the company said in a post on X.
“IGL has announced a reduction of Rs 0.70 per standard cubic metre in domestic PNG prices for consumers in Delhi and NCR from the New Year,” the company said. Following the cut, PNG will cost Rs 47.89 per scm in Delhi, Rs 46.70 per scm in Gurugram and Rs 47.76 per scm in Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad.
The price reduction comes in the wake of recent changes to pipeline tariffs announced by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB). Earlier, Think Gas had also announced cuts in CNG and domestic PNG prices in several states ahead of the new tariff regime.
On December 16, the PNGRB unveiled a rationalised tariff structure for natural gas pipelines, which transport gas used for electricity generation, fertiliser production, CNG and household cooking fuel. The revised framework aims to simplify transportation charges and make gas more affordable for consumers as well as city gas distribution companies.
Under the new regime, which will take effect from January 1, 2026, the number of distance-based tariff zones has been reduced from three to two — up to 300 km and beyond. A uniform, lower Zone-1 tariff of around Rs 54 per million British thermal unit will apply nationwide for CNG and domestic PNG consumers, irrespective of their distance from the gas source, the regulator said.
Commenting on the move, IGL said the decision reflects its focus on making clean energy more accessible and affordable as the country heads into 2026.
