Adani Total Gas Raises CNG Price by ₹4.45 per Kg in Ahmedabad, Cites Higher Procurement Costs

Following the revision, CNG in Ahmedabad will cost ₹98.47 per kg. The increase comes after the company raised prices by ₹4 per kg in August 2026, when the rate was revised to ₹94.20 per kg.

The company attributed the latest hike to a substantial increase in natural gas procurement expenses, driven by geopolitical developments, rising global gas prices and constraints on domestic supplies.

An ATGL spokesperson said the revision was necessary to account for higher procurement costs, while the company continued to focus on limiting the impact on consumers and maintaining an uninterrupted supply of CNG.

The company said reduced availability of New Well Gas (NWG) and High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) gas, combined with rising spot prices for liquefied natural gas (LNG), had significantly increased the weighted average cost of gas used in its CNG business.

According to ATGL, international spot LNG prices have climbed from approximately $10–12 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) in February 2026 to nearly $30 per MMBtu currently, increasing the cost of imported gas.

The company also cited supply curtailments by upstream producers, which it said had forced it to procure gas through alternative, more expensive channels.

ATGL further said declining allocations of NWG had reduced the availability of competitively priced domestic gas for CNG sales. An Office Memorandum issued on October 19, 2026, had also reduced HPHT gas volumes available for priority-sector consumption, adding to the pressure on domestic supplies.

The latest revision reflects the impact of rising input costs on CNG prices in Ahmedabad, with ATGL stating that it continues to balance procurement expenses with the need to maintain fuel availability for consumers.
