Gas Price Hike in Chennai: Auto Drivers Struggling
Gas Price Hike in Chennai has made the situation difficult for people depending on auto-rickshaws. LPG prices, used in many autos, have risen from around ₹69 to ₹84–₹100. Many stations are facing shortages, causing long waits and lost rides, affecting drivers’ daily earnings.
Because of this, drivers are now charging ₹10–₹20 extra per ride. Passengers feel the pinch, while drivers say fares haven’t increased with rising costs. Hidden expenses like fitness certificates add more pressure. Both sides are struggling to manage daily travel amid higher fuel costs.
