India cuts back cheap gas for vehicles even as bad air chokes Delhi - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

New Delhi, one of the world’s most polluted cities, was pushed into CNG well over two decades ago after a Supreme Court ruling that demanded the conversion of all public buses to cope with worsening air quality.

Supply constraints have left retailers like Indraprastha Gas Ltd and Mahanagar Gas Ltd increasingly reliant on more expensive imports — or costly production from new Indian fields, which have proven more technically challenging.

That has been felt by consumers, with CNG prices in Delhi rising 73 per cent since 2021.
