Fuel prices in India have experienced fluctuations and regional variations. In Mumbai, CNG prices rose to 89 rupees per kilogram following five increases over a six-month period, totaling an 8-rupee rise per kilogram. This trend has increased operational costs for taxi and auto-rickshaw drivers, leading union president Thampi Kurian to suggest that "a demand for fare revisions may become necessary" if costs continue to climb.

While prices for LPG, CNG, and PNG have remained stable across several major cities, including Delhi, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, localized increases were noted in parts of Uttar Pradesh. In those areas, CNG prices rose by up to 3.25 rupees per kg, driven by rising spot LNG prices, currency fluctuations, and increased input gas costs.
