When will CNG supply be restored in Mumbai? MGL shares update
According to MGL, the CNG supply was disrupted on Sunday after stoppage of supply in the CGS Wadala and thereby the pipeline network.
A disruption in the CNG supply on Monday paralysed the transportation system in the city, triggering long queues of vehicles as autorickshaws, cabs and other CNG-run vehicles were affected by the issue that also led to a sharp spike in auto fares.
Mahanagar Gas (MGL) informed that the disruption was caused by a stoppage of supply in the CGS Wadala, and thereby the MGL pipeline network. This disrupted CNG stations across Mumbai, Thane, and Navi Mumbai.

CNG disruption did not affect bus services in the city. Sucheta Utale, public relations officer of Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST), said operations were unaffected due to the CNG supply. BEST has around 1,250 CNG buses in its fleet.
"There has been no impact of CNG on BEST bus operations," Utale replied in a text message to PTI on Monday evening, but did not give details.
