Meanwhile in Mumbai, the recent ₹ 6 per kg reduction in CNG prices proved to only be temporary. MGL hiked prices of the fuel by a notable ₹ 7 per litre with effect from April 6 with the price spiking to ₹ 67 per litre for Mumbai and neighbouring areas. The hike in price is likely due to the higher prices of domestically produced natural gas announced by the Centre earlier this month.
