Mumbai CNG Outage Persists as MGL Targets Full Restoration by Tuesday Noon

Damage to a GAIL pipeline inside the RCF/Trombay premises cut flow to MGL’s Wadala hub, leaving many vehicles off the road even as 225 of 389 stations operate at reduced pressure.

Some public transport buses, and a majority of autorickshaws and taxis run on CNG supplied by MGL.
On Monday, long queues were seen on CNG pumps for refuelling after the pipeline damage affected thousands of vehicles

Overview

  • Third‑party damage to a GAIL main pipeline inside the RCF/Trombay compound disrupted supply to MGL’s City Gate Station at Wadala, a key node for the region.
  • Autos, kaali‑peeli taxis, app cabs and some buses were forced off roads, with long queues at operational pumps and surge fares reported across Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai.
  • MGL said domestic piped natural gas is being maintained on priority and urged industrial and commercial users to switch to alternate fuels until normal supply resumes.
  • Partial service has resumed with 225 of 389 CNG stations operating, and MGL expects network normalisation by Tuesday, Nov. 18, around noon as rectification progresses.
  • GAIL’s Deepak Gupta estimated repairs would take 24–30 hours with a temporary loss of 1.5–2 mmscmd, while transport unions flagged income losses and warned of limited services into Tuesday.
