Govt doubles CNG price

Economist says inflation to go up, Tamim sees no effect on essential goods prices Aminul Islam The government has almost doubled the CNG price to Tk 16.75 a cubic meter from Tk 8.50 with effect from today to cut the losses Petrobangla incurs. The government on Thursday said the fares of CNG-run three wheelers and taxi cabs would soon be revised upward, but the CNG-run buses and trucks would not be allowed to increase fares as they had already been charging high fares.
