Mumbai CNG Price Increased by Re 1 per Kg to Rs 90 from November 1
Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL) has increased the price of compressed natural gas (CNG) by Re 1 per kg in Mumbai and adjoining areas, effective November 1, raising the rate to Rs 90 per kg. This marks the sixth price hike this year, attributed to rising gas procurement costs amid the West Asia crisis, reduced domestic gas allocation, and greater reliance on costlier imported gas. The increase affects nearly 13 lakh vehicles, including autos, taxis, and private vehicles, with unions warning of potential fare hikes if costs continue to rise.
