Pune, 16th August 2022: CNG users who have been bearing the brunt of the price hike for the past few days will now get some relief. The price of CNG in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad cities will be reduced by Rs 4 from Wednesday (August 17).

This reduction has been made by Maharashtra Natural Gas Limited (MNGL), a company that distributes CNG. So now CNG will be available in Pune at Rs 87 per kg, earlier this price was Rs 91 per kg. Earlier, the VAT on CNG was reduced by 10 per cent, reducing the rates by Rs 6.30 per kg.

After that, the price was continuously increasing. CNG prices have been hiked by Rs 6 last month due to a shortage of local gas and expensive imported gas. Therefore, the price of CNG in Pune city now increased from Rs 85 to Rs 91 per kg.

MNGL has reduced the price of CNG due to a fall in the purchase price of domestic natural gas. MNGL has taken this decision to pass on the benefit to consumers due to the reduction in gas prices
