Mumbai: The Mahanagar Gas Ltd (MGL) on Friday announced a steep reduction in the retail price of compressed natural gas (CNG) by ₹8/kg and domestic PNG (piped natural gas) by ₹5/SCM across its licenced area.
This will bring a big relief to the private car population running on CNG in Mumbai metropolitan region (MMR) which has risen by 13% in the past year. There are now four-lakh four-wheelers private cars running on CNG.
The total CNG vehicular population has now gone over nine lakh which also includes commercial four-wheelers, taxis and auto rickshaws. Earlier this February, MGL had reduced its Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) prices by ₹2.5 per Kg.
