In a strategic move, GAIL India Limited and its subsidiary GAIL Gas have significantly slashed compressed natural gas (CNG) prices, positioning it as an appealing and eco-friendly alternative for transportation. This reduction mirrors similar initiatives by IGL and Mahanagar Gas, aligning with the broader push for sustainable and cost-effective fuel options.
The adjusted cng prices in various cities include Rs 81.17 per kg in Varanasi, Rs 84.54 in Patna, Rs 87.15 in Ranchi, Rs 87.08 in Jamshedpur, Rs 87.26 in Bhubaneswar, and Rs 87.60 per kg in Cuttack. This reduction aims to make cng more accessible to a wider audience and foster its adoption. Major automakers like Maruti, Tata, Hyundai, and mahindra have been actively promoting cng vehicles, contributing to the broader push for environmentally friendly transportation solutions.
GAIL Gas CEO gautam Chakraborty emphasized that the price cut not only benefits consumers but also contributes positively to the environment. The decision aligns with the industry's commitment to provide relief to customers and encourage the usage of cleaner fuels.
This move follows the footsteps of other City Gas Distribution companies like Mahanagar Gas Limited and Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL), which reduced cng prices by Rs 2.50 on march 5, further substantiating the industry-wide trend towards making cng an attractive and cost-effective option for consumers while promoting sustainability in the transportation sector.
