Pipeline Damage Disrupts Mumbai CNG Supply, Autos and Taxis Pulled Off Roads

Officials estimate 24–30 hours to restore flow to the Wadala node that supplies most city pumps.

Overview

  • Third‑party damage to GAIL’s trunk line inside the RCF compound cut gas to MGL’s City Gate Station at Wadala, hitting pumps across Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai.
  • MGL reported long queues at limited operational stations as many autorickshaws, taxis and some buses ran out of fuel and app‑based fares surged.
  • Household piped natural gas is being maintained on priority, according to MGL’s public statements.
  • Industrial and commercial customers have been asked to switch to alternate fuels until normal supply resumes.
  • GAIL and MGL said repairs are underway with gradual restoration reported, and a GAIL executive cited a temporary loss of about 1.5–2 mmscmd.
