Mumbai CNG Price Increased to Rs 91.50 per Kg Amid Rising Procurement Costs
Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL) has raised the price of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) by Rs 1.50 per kg to Rs 91.50 in Mumbai and adjoining areas, effective November 15. This marks the eighth increase this year, driven by rising procurement costs amid the Middle East crisis, reduced domestic gas allocation, and greater reliance on imported liquefied natural gas. The hikes have increased fuel costs for nearly 13 lakh CNG vehicles, including autorickshaws, taxis, and private motorists, with MGL aiming to ensure sustained supply while managing input costs.
