India's fuel retailers hiked the price of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) once again on Tuesday, marking a fourth increase in less than two weeks. 
 
Retailers increased prices by two rupees (2.1 US cents, 1.9 euro cents), according to the Press Trust of India. That's one US cent or less than two European cents. 
 
The price of fuel differs in cities and states due to different levels of state tax and dealership commissions.
 
CNG is commonly used for public transportation in India. Autorickshaw and Uber drivers have reportedly been complaining that rising gas prices, along with Inflation and stagnant fares, are eating into their incomes.
 
Prices of petrol, diesel, cooking gas and CNG have all increased in India due to the US-Israel war on Iran.
