The company said that the revision in prices has been done to marginally offset the impact of an increase in prices of domestically produced natural gas and increased dependence on costlier R-LNG.
The IGL said that the increase would have a marginal impact on the per km running cost of vehicles. For autos, the increase would be 6 paise per km. Whereas for taxis it would be 11 paise. In the case of buses, the increase would be Rs 1.65 per km.
