Mumbai CNG Shortage Drags Into Tuesday as MGL Targets Noon Restoration

MGL cites third‑party damage at RCF Trombay, prioritising household PNG, with GAIL to open an inquiry after flow resumes.

Overview

  • A GAIL main pipeline inside the RCF/Trombay compound was punctured by third‑party construction, cutting supply to MGL’s Wadala City Gate Station.
  • MGL reports 225 of 389 CNG stations operating with low pressure and says full normalisation is expected by November 18 noon.
  • Long queues persisted at limited pumps as ride-hailing fares surged and transport shortages were reported at the airport and across the MMR.
  • Autos, taxis and some school buses remained off roads or combined routes, with unions citing lost income and seeking compensation from MGL.
  • GAIL says restoring supply remains the priority, with a formal probe into the construction-related damage to follow once service stabilises.
