People using CNG and piped gas in Mumbai and nearby areas will have to pay more from September 1.
Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL) has increased the price of CNG by ₹2 per kg and domestic PNG by ₹1 per standard cubic meter (SCM).
The company said the price hike is due to higher input costs caused by tensions in the Middle East, which have made imported gas more expensive.
New CNG Price in Mumbai
With the latest revision, the price of CNG in Mumbai and surrounding areas has increased to ₹88 per kg.
The new rates came into effect from midnight on September 1, 2026.
MGL said demand for CNG remains high, and a large share of the gas used for CNG is imported as spot RLNG (Regasified Liquefied Natural Gas), which costs more.
The price increase will help the company manage rising costs while ensuring an uninterrupted supply of CNG.
Which Areas Will Be Affected?
Mahanagar Gas supplies CNG to around 1.3 million vehicles across Mumbai, Thane, Raigad, Ratnagiri, Latur and Dharashiv in Maharashtra, along with Chitradurga and Davangere in Karnataka.
The company has also increased the price of domestic PNG by ₹1 per SCM, affecting nearly 3 million household consumers.
Earlier, Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) had also raised CNG prices by ₹3.89 per kg, taking the rate to ₹86.98 per kg in Delhi-NCR and nearby regions. The company had also blamed higher input costs for the increase.
Commercial LPG Cylinders Also Costlier
Commercial LPG cylinder prices have also gone up from September 1. The price of a 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder has increased by ₹10.50.
After the revision, the new prices are:
Delhi: ₹2,747.50
Mumbai: ₹2,701
Chennai: ₹2,916.50
These cylinders are mainly used by hotels, restaurants, dhabas and other businesses.
In addition, the price of a 5 kg non-domestic LPG cylinder has been increased by ₹2, taking its price to ₹764.
