CNG and PNG prices hiked in Pune, CNG at Rs99 per kg
The Story in Brief
Maharashtra Natural Gas Limited (MNGL) raised CNG and domestic PNG prices in Pune and surrounding areas effective midnight 12 November. CNG for vehicles rose Rs1.25 per kg to Rs99 per kg from Rs97.75. Domestic PNG increased Rs1.50 per standard cubic metre to Rs53 per SCM in PMC and PCMC limits.
The revision applies to Pimpri-Chinchwad, Chakan, Talegaon and Hinjewadi areas. MNGL operates the city gas distribution network in the region. No reason for the increase was given. Customers will pay the new rates at retail points.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The Rs1.25/kg CNG increase and Rs1.50/SCM PNG rise, effective midnight 12 November in Pune and adjoining areas, shift fuel costs to consumers without MNGL citing a reason such as input cost or supply changes. Households using PNG will see a recurring monthly bill impact, while commercial vehicle operators, cabs and auto-rickshaws face an immediate operating cost increase for which no tariff pass-through mechanism is mentioned. MNGL has named no next revision date, leaving users uncertain about stability in FY2026-27.
