What’s the New CNG Price in Mumbai?
- The price of 1 kg of CNG has increased from ₹75 to ₹77.
- However, there’s no change in piped cooking gas prices, which remain at ₹48 per unit.
This increase was announced by Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL) to cover the rising cost of natural gas in the market.
Impact on Auto and Taxi Fares
Since most public transport in Mumbai runs on CNG, this price hike will impact drivers.
- Auto-rickshaw unions are expected to demand a ₹2-₹2.50 increase in fares per kilometer.
- Auto leaders are citing rising fuel and maintenance costs to justify the fare hike.
Why the Price Hike?
An MGL official explained that due to domestic gas shortages, the company is purchasing natural gas at higher market rates. This extra cost is being passed on to consumers.
