NGV prices capped for up to 2 yearsProtesters hold up a sign bemoaning the price of natural gas for public transport vehicles. Energy Minister Pirapan Salirathavibhaga wrote on Facebook on Sunday that the measure came in response to a petition from truck, bus and taxi drivers last month asking for help as market prices for natural gas for vehicles (NGV) exceeded 20 baht per kilogramme. For buses in other provinces, PTT's NGV price will be 18.59 baht/kg until Dec 31, 2025. The state-run company is to cap sales of NGV at 12,000 baht per month for taxis and 10,000-40,000 baht per month for buses of different sizes. For other vehicles, the NGV price will be capped at 19.59 baht/kg from Jan 1 to May 15, 2024.
