CNG-PNG Prices Hiked: Vehicle drivers in Pune have experienced a sudden price hike as CNG rates have risen. With an increase of Rs 1.25 per kg, CNG now costs Rs 99 per kg in Pune, bringing it very close to the Rs 100 mark. In addition, the price of domestic piped natural gas (PNG) has gone up by Rs 1.50 as well. Maharashtra Natural Gas Limited announced that these revised prices were implemented from midnight. As a result, those who own CNG-powered vehicles will see their monthly fuel costs rise.
How much did it increase
In Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad, MNGL (India) Limited raised the price of domestic piped natural gas (PNG) by Rs 1.50 per standard cubic meter (SCM), setting the new rate at Rs 51.75 per SCM from midnight between November 12 and 13. Simultaneously, the company hiked the retail price of compressed natural gas (CNG) by Rs 1.25 per kilogram in Nashik and Dhule districts, making the cost Rs 99.75 per kilogram from midnight onwards.
Why did it increase?
Officials explained that the price adjustments were prompted by higher input costs for gas and increased expenses associated with importing regasified liquefied natural gas (RLNG). With a growing proportion of imported natural gas in the overall supply, greater quantities of RLNG are needed to meet the rising demand.

In Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad, MNGL also raised the retail price of compressed natural gas (CNG) by Rs 1.25 per kilogram. These adjustments took effect at midnight on Friday, November 13, 2026.
