“Being a customer-focused company, MGL has always tried to maintain price stability for its CNG and domestic PNG customers. However, since there has been an increase in gas prices, MGL has decided to progressively recover from such an increase in gas cost. Accordingly, MGL is constrained to further increase the basic price of CNG by ₹2.30/kg and PNG by ₹1.11/ SCM in and around Mumbai,” said a statement from MGL.

The prices of CNG and domestic PNG were last hiked in the city in July. CNG was available at ₹51.98/kg, while PNG was available at ₹30.40/ SCM in slab 1 and ₹36.00 /SCM in slab 2 respectively.

Before that CNG was priced at ₹49.40 per kg in the city.
