CNG now Rs 99 a kg, domestic PNG Rs 53 per SCM in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad after MNGL hike

Households and motorists in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad are paying more for gas. Maharashtra Natural Gas Limited (MNGL) has revised its rates for both CNG and piped natural gas (PNG), and the new prices took effect at midnight between November 12 and 13, a Friday.

For vehicle owners, CNG is dearer by Rs 1.25 a kg. The fuel that sold at Rs 97.75 a kg now costs Rs 99. The same rate applies in Chakan, Talegaon and Hinjewadi, which are served by the company along with the two cities.

Domestic PNG has risen by Rs 1.50 per standard cubic metre (SCM) in the areas of the Pune Municipal Corporation and the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation. The price moves from Rs 51.50 to Rs 53 per SCM. One of the reports gave the new Pune rate as Rs 51.75, but that is the rate in Nashik, and the arithmetic of the increase confirms Rs 53 for Pune.

The burden is likely to fall hardest on people who cover long distances by vehicle every day. CNG cars, autorickshaws and cabs will cost more to run, and auto and cab drivers will feel it at every refill. Homes on the piped network will see higher monthly bills and will have to set aside more for cooking gas.

MNGL has blamed a higher cost of buying gas. The company says the price of imported re-gasified liquefied natural gas (RLNG) has also gone up. India does not produce all the gas it consumes, so part of the supply is imported, and when international gas prices and import costs climb, the company's overall costs rise and are passed on in retail rates.

The increase is not confined to the Pune belt. In Nashik, CNG is now Rs 99.75 a kg, up Rs 1.25, and domestic PNG is Rs 51.75 per SCM. Prices were also raised from midnight in Dhule district. One account puts the CNG rate there at Rs 99.75 a kg as well, but the state-wide rate list for November 13 shows Dhule at Rs 93.65, so the two figures do not agree.
