Oil companies release the prices of petrol and diesel every morning for all cities, and the prices have been announced for today, 22 November 2024. There has been no change in the prices of petrol and diesel, but CNG prices have increased.
This increase in CNG prices has only happened in Mumbai, while CNG prices remain stable in all other cities. Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL) announced the price hike this morning. As a result, the general public has once again been affected by inflation.
How Expensive Has CNG Become?
According to Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL), the price of CNG has increased to Rs 77 per kg. The new prices took effect today, leaving Mumbai drivers upset by the hike.
Impact on Drivers and Passengers
The price increase will affect both daily commuters and CNG-powered vehicles, such as taxis and auto-rickshaws. In Mumbai, CNG is the primary fuel source, with more CNG vehicles than petrol or diesel-powered ones. The price hike will put additional financial pressure on both drivers and passengers.
As expected post-election, price hike take by MGL
Hikes CNG price by Rs 2/kg to Rs77/kg effective 22-Nov’24
CGDs were needed to increase CNG prices by as much as Rs 9/Kg to completely pass on the impact
This hike is just 20% of that…
