MGL Raises Mumbai CNG Prices by Rs 1 per Kg Due to Rising Gas Costs
Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL) has increased the price of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) by Rs 1 per kg in Mumbai and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, effective October 1, raising the rate to Rs 89 per kg. The hike is attributed to rising costs of domestically produced and imported regasified liquefied natural gas (RLNG), linked to international price indices amid the Middle East crisis. This increase affects over 1.2 million vehicles, including taxis, autorickshaws, and private vehicles, potentially raising transportation costs. MGL aims to partially offset input cost rises while maintaining sustained gas supply.
