Mumbai CNG price has risen by Rs 1.50 per kg, taking the revised delivered rate to Rs 91.50 per kg in Mumbai and adjoining areas from November 15, Mahanagar Gas Limited said in a statement issued on Saturday. The increase is the second reported revision by the city gas distributor in a fortnight and adds to fuel costs for motorists and other consumers who depend on MGL-supplied compressed natural gas.
MGL attributed the latest increase to rising gas procurement costs, reduced domestic gas allocation and greater dependence on imported regasified liquefied natural gas, or RLNG. The company said the geopolitical situation in the Middle East had contributed to higher reliance on imported gas linked to international price benchmarks.
The distributor said its increased dependence on higher-cost imported gas had significantly raised input costs, particularly for the CNG segment. Strong demand for CNG and a higher share of imported gas in its procurement mix were also cited as factors behind the cost increase.
MGL said the revision was intended to partially offset the higher cost of input gas and ensure continued supply to consumers. It advised customers to check the company’s official website for revised rates applicable in its other geographical areas.
The latest increase follows two earlier revisions by MGL in recent months. On October 1, the company raised the CNG price by Re 1 per kg to Rs 89 in Mumbai and adjoining areas. The rate was subsequently increased by another Re 1 per kg to Rs 90 from November 1, with MGL citing higher gas procurement costs amid the West Asia crisis.
The November 15 revision therefore brings the price to Rs 91.50 per kg and represents the second hike in a fortnight, according to the report. The repeated changes affect private vehicle owners as well as commercial users whose operating costs are linked to CNG prices.
The move comes amid wider cost pressures in India’s city gas distribution sector. Adani Total Gas Limited raised CNG prices by Rs 4.45 per kg in October, citing higher international liquefied natural gas prices, reduced domestic gas availability and supply curtailments by upstream producers. The company said global spot LNG prices had increased to around USD 30 per million British thermal units from USD 10-12 in February 2026.
MGL’s latest statement links the Mumbai price revision to the changing balance between domestically allocated gas and imported supplies. For consumers, the immediate change is the revised delivered CNG rate of Rs 91.50 per kg from November 15 in Mumbai and adjoining areas.
