CNG Supply Interruption Details
Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL) experienced a disruption in CNG supply in Mumbai after a GAIL (India) Limited pipeline was damaged by a third party. The affected pipeline is a feeder for MGL’s City Gate Station (CGS) at Wadala, causing an interruption in gas supply to that CGS.
Response and Restoration Efforts
MGL mitigated the impact by leveraging its interconnected pipeline network, using other CGS locations (Mahape, Ambernath, Taloja, Usarghar, and Savaroli) to restore gas supply to the maximum extent possible. MGL maintained 100% supply to domestic household consumers and small to medium commercial establishments. Large industrial customers were asked to limit their consumption unless critical.
CNG Station Operations
To ensure adequate CNG availability, MGL prioritized keeping large CNG stations operational. Approximately 60% of CNG stations, including those at State Transport Undertakings, remained operational throughout the disruption.
Supply Restoration
Gas supply from GAIL has been fully restored, and all MGL operations returned to normal by the afternoon of November 18, 2025.
