PNG rate in Kochi over the last 1 day
Our record for Kochi currently holds a single day: ₹52.86 per SCM on 17 Oct 2026. A range and a trend need at least two days, so this section fills in as the daily record grows.
This table is built from our own daily record rather than from a third-party feed. That means it starts on the day we began tracking Kochi and grows by one row every night — it is a record of what was actually published, not a reconstructed series.
PNG rate across Kerala: where Kochi stands
Within Kerala, PNG ranges from ₹51.00 per SCM in Thiruvananthapuram to ₹52.86 in Thrissur — a spread of ₹1.86, or 3.5 per cent. At ₹52.86, Kochi sits at the top of that range.
A gap of that size is almost always tax rather than transport. Central excise duty is uniform nationwide, but state VAT and local levies are not, and that is what separates one city in Kerala from another.
Kochi at a glance
Kochi has a population of roughly 7,00,000, based on our most recent estimate (as of 31 Mar 2024). These are planning estimates rather than a census count, and they are published here so you can judge what the rest of this page means in context.
How much Kochi spends on PNG in a day
Our working estimate for fuel demand in Kochi is around 380 kl/day, again an estimate rather than a metered figure. At today's PNG price of ₹52.86 per SCM, that demand represents roughly ₹2.01 crore of fuel changing hands in the city every single day.
The arithmetic behind that number is deliberately simple — litres multiplied by the price — and we spell it out so you can substitute your own figure if you have better local data. What it shows is why a small-looking revision matters so much at city scale.
