Shares of Oil and Natural Gas Corp. and Oil India Ltd. fell on Tuesday after the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas hiked domestic natural gas prices by 7% as of Sept. 30.
This is the third consecutive hike by the ministry. Since the nomination fields of ONGC and Oil India have a ceiling of $6.50/mmBtu, the hike could impact the pricing of transport fuels like CNG and PNG, used by residential consumers.
