ICICI Securities says IGL may need another CNG hike
In short
A report said ICICI Securities thinks IGL may need another CNG price hike if LNG prices stay high. Another report said IGL shares rose 2.54% to Rs 151.35 after a CNG hike of Rs 3.89 per kg.
The issue matters because higher gas costs can push up CNG prices for customers. The report does not say when any new hike would come.
