Adani CNG Price Hike: Ahmedabad residents and vehicle owners have received another shock ahead of Diwali 2026 as Adani Total Gas has increased Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) prices by ₹2.30 per kilogram. With this latest revision, CNG prices in Ahmedabad have crossed the ₹100 mark for the first time, reaching ₹100.77 per kg.
The latest price increase comes just 13 days after the previous hike on October 23, 2026, when CNG prices were increased by ₹4.45 per kg. The consecutive increases have added to the financial burden on daily commuters, private vehicle owners, auto-rickshaw drivers and taxi operators.
Adani CNG New Price in Ahmedabad
Following the latest revision, Adani CNG prices in Ahmedabad have increased from ₹98.47 to ₹100.77 per kilogram.
Here are the revised rates:
| Details | CNG Price |
|---|---|
| Previous price | ₹98.47/kg |
| Latest increase | ₹2.30/kg |
| New CNG price | ₹100.77/kg |
With this increase, CNG has crossed the ₹100-per-kg level in Ahmedabad, making it a more expensive fuel option for vehicle owners who previously preferred it for its relatively lower running costs.
Second Adani CNG Price Hike in Just 13 Days
The latest increase is the second major revision within a short period. On October 23, 2026, Adani Total Gas increased CNG prices by ₹4.45 per kg, taking the rate to ₹98.47 per kg. Now, another increase of ₹2.30 has pushed the price to ₹100.77 per kg.
Earlier, CNG prices were also increased by ₹4 per kg on August 1, 2026. The repeated price revisions have raised concerns among consumers, particularly those who depend on CNG-powered vehicles for their daily transportation and livelihood.
CNG Price Hike to Affect Auto-Rickshaw and Taxi Drivers
The increase in CNG prices is expected to directly affect auto-rickshaw and taxi drivers in Ahmedabad. For drivers who use their vehicles throughout the day, even a small increase in fuel prices can significantly raise monthly operating expenses.
Auto-rickshaw drivers may seek an increase in passenger fares to compensate for the additional fuel costs. However, any fare revision would depend on the decisions of the relevant authorities. The higher fuel prices could also affect school van operators, cab services and other commercial transportation businesses.
Daily Commuters May Face Higher Travel Expenses
The impact of the CNG price increase will not be limited to commercial drivers. People using CNG-powered cars for daily office travel, business visits and personal transportation will also have to spend more on fuel.
With CNG prices now above ₹100 per kg, consumers may reconsider their monthly transportation budgets, particularly families and individuals who regularly travel long distances. The increase comes just before Diwali, when many families are already managing additional expenses related to shopping, travel and celebrations.
Adani Total Gas Reports ₹173 Crore Quarterly Profit
The CNG price increase comes at a time when Adani Total Gas has reported positive financial results for the second quarter.
According to the company’s reported financial figures:
- Net Profit: ₹173 crore
- Previous Year’s Net Profit: ₹163 crore
- Profit Growth: 5.9%
- Revenue: ₹2,109 crore
- Revenue Growth: 34%
The company’s revenue increased compared with the corresponding period last year, with higher demand for piped natural gas (PNG) also contributing to its business performance.
Will Auto-Rickshaw and Taxi Fares Increase?
The latest CNG price increase has renewed concerns about transportation costs in Ahmedabad. Auto-rickshaw and taxi operators may demand higher fares as rising fuel expenses put pressure on their daily earnings. If transportation costs increase, passengers could also face an additional financial burden.
However, no confirmed official announcement regarding an increase in auto-rickshaw or taxi fares has been reported alongside the latest CNG price revision. For now, Ahmedabad consumers will have to pay ₹100.77 per kg for Adani CNG following the latest ₹2.30 increase.
The latest development: Adani CNG has crossed ₹100 per kg in Ahmedabad just ahead of Diwali, adding further pressure on vehicle owners, daily commuters and commercial transport operators.
