Following the increase in Delhi, CNG prices in Mumbai have risen by Rs 1.50 per kg, while the cost of piped cooking gas for households has increased by Re 1, attributed to higher input costs.

Mahanagar Gas Ltd, the supplier of CNG to automobiles and piped natural gas for cooking purposes in Mumbai and neighboring cities, announced that the price hikes will be effective from the night of July 8 and 9.

Reasons for Price Hike

“To meet the increasing volume of CNG and domestic piped natural gas (PNG) segments and due to further shortfall in domestic gas allocation, MGL is sourcing additional market priced natural gas (imported LNG) which has resulted in higher gas cost,” the firm said in a statement.

To partially offset the increase in gas cost, MGL has raised the delivered price of CNG by Rs 1.50 per kg and domestic PNG by Re 1 per standard cubic meter in Mumbai and nearby regions.

As a result, the revised inclusive prices for CNG will be Rs 75 per kg and for domestic PNG will be Rs 48 per scm in Mumbai and its surrounding areas.

On June 22, Indraprastha Gas Ltd, the city gas license holder for the national capital and adjoining cities, increased the CNG price by Re 1 per kg to Rs 75.09 in Delhi. However, it did not adjust the rates for PNG, which remain at Rs 48.59 per scm.
