  "account": "Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL) has increased the price of compressed natural gas (CNG) in Mumbai by ₹1.50 per kilogram, bringing the total to ₹91.50 per kilogram. This marks MGL's eighth price hike this year, following a ₹1 increase on November 1. Since January 2026, CNG prices have risen by ₹11 per kilogram, representing a 14% increase in less than 11 months. The latest price revision is expected to affect around 12.93 lakh CNG-powered vehicles, including autorickshaws, taxis, private cars and public transport vehicles in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. MGL cited rising gas procurement costs, reduced domestic gas allocation and increased reliance on imported regasified liquefied natural gas (RLNG) as the primary reasons for the price hike. The ongoing crisis in the Middle East has also contributed to higher procurement expenses for MGL, which relies heavily on imported RLNG. The company aims to pass on part of the increased costs to consumers while ensuring a stable supply of CNG. The repeated price increases are likely to put additional financial pressure on vehicle owners and commercial drivers who rely on CNG for their daily commute and livelihoods.",
