The effect of the rise in the prices of natural gas is beginning to be seen. Due to this, the price of CNG and PNG has increased in Mumbai. This is the second increase in the country's financial capital within a month. Mahanagar Gas Limited has increased the prices of CNG by Rs 6 per kg.

Price hiked after GAIL's announcement

According to PTI, along with CNG, the price of Piped Natural Gas (PNG) has also increased in Mumbai. Its price has been increased by Rs 4 per unit. Let us inform that GAIL has announced an increase of 18 percent in the prices of natural gas supplied to city gas companies. With this announcement, the prices of CNG and PNG have started increasing in the cities of the country.

Sixth hike since April

This is the sixth increase in the prices of CNG and PNG since April this year. Rising prices over the past several weeks have forced suppliers and dealers to cut industrial supplies. Earlier, on July 12, MGL had increased the prices. At that time the price of CNG was increased by Rs 6 per kg and that of PNG by Rs 3 per SCM.

Now the price has become so much in Mumbai

In the statement of Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL), it was said that due to the increase in gas cost, we have decided to compensate the cost. In this sequence, the retail price of CNG has been increased to Rs 86 per kg. Whereas the price of domestic PNG has been increased by Rs 4 to Rs 52.50 per unit.
