Mumbai CNG Prices Rise ₹1 as MGL Cites Gas Costs
CNG now costs ₹1 more in Mumbai and nearby areas.
The new price is ₹89 for one kilogram.
Mahanagar Gas Limited announced the change.
It took effect from midnight on September 30 or on October 1.
The company said the gas it buys has become more expensive.
Some of that gas is imported and changed back into gas before use.
International gas prices have increased during the ongoing Middle East crisis.
This could make travel and business costs higher for people who use CNG vehicles.
Mahanagar Gas Limited raised CNG prices in Mumbai and adjoining areas by ₹1 per kg.
The revised price is ₹89 per kg, effective from midnight on September 30 or October 1.
MGL cited higher costs for domestically produced gas and imported regasified liquefied natural gas.
The company said spot RLNG prices have risen amid the ongoing Middle East or West Asia crisis.
The increase could raise operating costs for taxis, autorickshaws, buses and other CNG users.

MGL's justification
Consumer and operator impact
Reason for the increase

MGL said the ₹1 increase would partially offset rising input-gas costs and help ensure a continued CNG supply.
Consumer and operator impact
CNG users will have to pay more for fuel, increasing expenses for households and businesses that rely on CNG.
Effect on transport
MGL's justification
MGL attributed the change to higher domestic-gas and imported RLNG costs rather than to transport operators.
