Mahanagar Gas Limited is a leading gas distributor in Mumbai, Thane and surrounding areas. The hike is effective from this morning.
The central government has hiked natural gas prices by 110 per cent since April 1. Therefore, Mahanagar Gas has to spend more to buy gas. Therefore, the company is gradually increasing the price to balance the purchase and sale costs. Mumbai and surrounding areas will have to pay Rs 76 per kg for CNG from this morning. So, on the other hand, Mahanagar Gas has given relief to the domestic consumers. There has been no increase in the price of PNG gas for domestic use.
