MUMBAI: CNG will cost more in Mumbai and adjoining areas from Sunday. Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL) has raised the price of compressed natural gas by ₹1.50 per kg, taking the revised rate to ₹91.50 per kg. The new price comes into effect from midnight on November 14, that is, from November 15, 2026.
MGL said the revision was needed because of rising procurement costs amid the ongoing crisis in the Middle East, a reduced allocation of domestic gas, and greater dependence on expensive imported Regasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG).
According to the company, the increase will only partly offset the rise in input costs, and is meant to keep CNG supply to consumers uninterrupted and sustainable.
This is the second CNG price hike in Mumbai within 15 days, adding to the burden on motorists, auto-rickshaw and taxi drivers, and commuters who depend on the fuel for daily travel.
Seventh hike this year: ₹10.50 per kg since April
With this revision, MGL has raised CNG prices seven times in 2026. The price has gone up from ₹81 per kg before the first hike in April to ₹91.50 per kg now, an increase of ₹10.50 per kg, or about 13%, in seven months.
