Cab drivers from Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad are increasingly crossing into Delhi to refill CNG tanks as the price difference between the capital and neighbouring Uttar Pradesh cities continues to widen. Drivers say the lower fuel cost in Delhi has become a crucial factor in managing operating expenses and preserving earnings.
Currently, CNG is priced at ₹83.09 per kg in Delhi, compared to ₹91.7 per kg in Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad. For drivers covering long distances every day, the gap translates into substantial monthly savings.
