Mumbai CNG Shortage Persists as MGL Targets Full Restoration by Noon

Repairs to a GAIL pipeline inside the RCF Trombay compound cut pressure to Wadala’s City Gate Station, with the distributor keeping household PNG flowing.

Overview

  • About 225 of 389 CNG stations are operating across Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai, MGL said early Tuesday.
  • Long refuelling queues and reduced vehicle availability continue, with reports of surge pricing and higher off-meter fares.
  • Autos, taxis and school transport were among the hardest hit, with operators combining routes and about 2,000 school buses reportedly stranded.
  • MGL is prioritising domestic piped gas and has advised industrial and commercial users to switch to alternate fuels until supply normalises.
  • The pipeline was damaged by third-party activity inside the RCF compound, and rectification work is underway with the timeline subject to change.
