CNG, PNG Prices Hiked by ₹4 And ₹3 In Mumbai; 4th Hike In 2022

Mumbai: Mahanagar Gas Limited has increased the prices of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Piped Natural Gas (PNG) prices in and around Mumbai by ₹4 and ₹3 respectively.

CNG will now be available in Mumbai at ₹80/Kg whereas PNG will be available at ₹48.50/Standard Cubic Meter (SCM). This is the fourth hike in the prices of natural gas in 2022.

“Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL) has always tried to maintain price stability for its customers. However, as the increase in the cost of input gas is quite high, MGL has decided to recover such increased gas cost. Accordingly, MGL is constrained to increase the MRP of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) to ₹4.00/kg and Domestic PNG to ₹3.00/scm in and around Mumbai,” a statement from MGL said.

Taxi unions have said they have no option but to convert their cars to battery-operated vehicles.

“With the continuous hike in CNG prices, we are left with no option. We have decided to convert our vehicles to battery-operated vehicles as we have no choice. The fares of auto-rickshaw and taxis are supposed to be hiked so we have to wait for that to happen,” said AL Quadros, general secretary, Mumbai TaxiMen’s Union.
