Gujarat Gas has increased the price of domestic piped natural gas (PNG) by 8.5%, raising the rate from ₹49.03 to ₹53.22 per standard cubic metre (SCM), effective September 3, 2026.
The company informed domestic PNG customers that the revised price of ₹53.22 per SCM includes taxes. The increase will raise monthly cooking fuel expenses for households using PNG across Gujarat.
Domestic PNG Price Revised
The earlier domestic PNG price was ₹49.03 per SCM. With the latest revision, consumers will now pay ₹53.22 per SCM, an increase of ₹4.19 per SCM.
Added Pressure on Household Budgets
The price hike comes at a time when household expenses are already under pressure from rising food and other essential costs.
For families relying on PNG for cooking, the higher per-unit rate will translate into increased monthly gas bills. The impact will depend on individual household consumption.
The timing of the increase, with the festive season underway, is also likely to add to concerns among middle-class households managing higher monthly expenses.
New Rate Effective From September 3
The revised domestic PNG rate of ₹53.22 per SCM has come into effect from September 3, 2026.
Consumers will see the revised rate reflected in their PNG bills based on their consumption from the effective date.
