CNG Latest Price: A Breath of Relief for Mumbai Commuters
In a welcome move, Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL) has announced a significant reduction of Rs 2.50 per kilogram in the price of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in Mumbai. The announcement from MGL came on Tuesday evening, and the new rates will be effective from midnight on March 5th. Following this price cut, the CNG rate in Mumbai and its surrounding areas has now stabilized at Rs 73.50 per kilogram, bringing relief to vehicle operators.
The Impact on Savings Compared to Petrol
After the latest rate adjustment, CNG in Mumbai is now approximately 53% cheaper than petrol and 22% cheaper than diesel. This reduction is expected to result in substantial savings for commuters, especially those relying on CNG-powered vehicles. Diesel vehicle owners, in particular, stand to benefit with a considerable 22% reduction in fuel expenses. MGL emphasizes that the price reduction in CNG will not only benefit commuters economically but also contribute to the increased use of natural gas in the transportation sector. This, in turn, aligns with environmental sustainability goals.
Why the Reduction?
According to the company, the decision to lower the rates stems from a decrease in the production cost of gas. The reduction, effective from the midnight of March 5th, is a strategic response to the decreased cost of producing natural gas. In recent days, Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) had increased CNG prices in the Delhi-NCR region, citing the rising cost of natural gas as the primary reason for the hike.
Rates Across Delhi-NCR
In the capital city, Delhi, the current price of CNG is Rs 76.59 per kilogram. The neighboring areas of Ghaziabad and Noida are experiencing CNG rates at Rs 81.20 per kilogram. Meanwhile, in Meerut, the CNG rate is slightly higher at Rs 81.58 per kilogram.
The reduction in CNG prices by MGL comes as a respite for consumers, especially at a time when fuel prices have been a cause for concern. With the revised rates, MGL aims to promote the use of CNG, not just as an economical choice for consumers but also as an eco-friendly alternative.
In conclusion, the recent price cut in CNG by Mahanagar Gas Limited is a positive development for commuters in Mumbai and its adjacent areas. The reduction not only brings economic relief but also aligns with the growing emphasis on environmentally friendly fuel options. As we move forward, it remains to be seen how such initiatives will impact the overall adoption of CNG in the transportation sector.
