MNGL Raises PNG and CNG Prices in Pune and Surrounding Areas
Maharashtra Natural Gas Limited (MNGL) has increased domestic Piped Natural Gas (PNG) prices by 1.50 per standard cubic metre and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) prices by 1.25 per kg in Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Nashik, and Dhule. The new rates, effective from November 12-13, 2026, reflect higher procurement and import costs. The hike affects households and thousands of CNG vehicle owners, including autorickshaw drivers who express concerns over rising expenses amid competition from bike taxis.
