Maharashtra Natural Gas Limited (MNGL) Revises CNG Prices in Pune City, Pimpri-Chinchwad & Adjoining Areas of Talegaon, Chakan, Hinjewadi
Pune (Voice News Service) :Pune – based City Gas Distribution (CGD) Company, Maharashtra Natural Gas Limited (MNGL), has hiked the retail price of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) for vehicular segment in the Pune city including Pimpri-Chinchwad and adjoining areas of Chakan, Talegaon and Hinjewadi with effect from the midnight of 5th/6th July’2022. MNGL has increased the CNG by Rs. 3 per KG inclusive of taxes. The CNG retail selling price has been revised from Rs. 82per KG to Rs. 85per KG.
MNGL has effected this CNG price revision on account of increase in input cost of domestic natural gas. Further, the Re-Gasified Liquefied Natural Gas (R-LNG) is mixed to meet the shortfall of domestic natural gas availability in CNG and Domestic Piped Natural Gas (PNG) sectors. This combination has led to a significant increase in the input cost of gas being procured by MNGL. However, MNGL has decided to pass on the increased gas cost to the customers in a phased manner.
Even after the above revision, MNGL’s CNG still offers attractive savings of around 53% and 32% as compared to petrol and diesel; respectively at current price levels in Pune city for the passenger car segment and around 33% for Auto Rickshaws in Pune and adjoining areas.
