Pipeline Damage Disrupts Mumbai CNG as Evening Repairs Start Restoring Supply

MGL prioritized household piped gas during the outage.

Overview

  • Third-party damage to a GAIL main pipeline inside the RCF compound cut gas flow to MGL’s City Gate Station at Wadala.
  • CNG stations across Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai were hit, affecting autorickshaws, taxis including aggregator fleets, and some public buses.
  • MGL said residential PNG supply would continue on priority and asked industrial and commercial users to switch to alternate fuels.
  • Drivers reported long queues at limited operational pumps, some vehicles went off the roads, and ride-hailing fares surged during the shortage.
  • Media reports said the damage was rectified and supply to CNG stations began resuming in the evening, with full network normalisation expected.
