CNG price has risen in Lucknow by Rs 2 to become Rs 97 per kg and now it is comparable to petrol.
Talking about the prices which are being hiked consumers’ tempers ran high at the Green Gas Limited filling station in Lucknow.
Meanwhile, a man who was at the filling station said, “Earlier, Rs 500 was enough to fill up the tank but now about Rs 900 is needed. It is better for us to use petrol or diesel”.
“The only difference now is in the mileage. Earlier, CNG used to cost Rs 50 but within three years, prices are now comparable to petrol and diesel. CNG too is out of our budget now, the consumer further stated.
Moreover, expressing anger the auto driver said, “The increased cost is a burden on our pockets. Moreover, there is less work nowadays.”
