Mumbai CNG at Rs 90 per kg from 1 November after Re 1 hike

Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL) has increased the price of compressed natural gas (CNG) by Re 1 per kg across Mumbai and adjoining areas, effective from midnight on 31 October. The revised price of Rs 90 per kg from 1 November will affect nearly 12.93 lakh vehicles in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, including auto-rickshaws, taxis and private vehicles, the Indian Express and Hindustan Times report.

MGL attributed the hike to a steep rise in input gas procurement costs linked to the ongoing West Asia crisis, a reduction in domestic gas allocation and growing dependence on higher-cost imported regasified liquefied natural gas, according to the Indian Express. Hindustan Times says this is the sixth increase since January. Auto-rickshaw union president Thampi Kurien told Hindustan Times that if CNG prices rise further and result in a 25% increase in overall operating costs, the union may seek another fare revision within six months.

Separately, the Times of India reports that Green Gas Limited has increased CNG prices by up to Rs 2.25 per kg in five cities in Uttar Pradesh, effective from 6am on 1 November, citing rising procurement costs of RLNG amid increased winter demand and global supply uncertainties.

Update, 31 October 2026: The Times of India reports a separate, unrelated CNG price hike by Green Gas Limited in five Uttar Pradesh cities, with increases of up to Rs 2.25 per kg, effective from 1 November. Hindustan Times adds that the Mumbai increase is the sixth since January and quotes auto union president Thampi Kurien saying a fare revision may be sought within six months if operating costs rise 25%.
