Gas supply across parts of Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai was disrupted on Sunday after third-party damage to GAIL’s main gas pipeline inside the Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers (RCF) compound affected the flow of gas to Mahanagar Gas Limited’s (MGL) City Gate Station (CGS) at Wadala.

MGL Prioritises Domestic PNG Supply

According to an MGL spokesperson, efforts are underway to gradually restore supply to CNG stations. The utility has prioritized uninterrupted supply to domestic piped natural gas (PNG) consumers, ensuring household usage remains unaffected.

CNG Stations May Remain Non-Operational

However, several CNG stations—including those catering to public transport fleets—may remain non-operational until the supply to CGS Wadala is fully restored. Industrial and commercial consumers in the impacted areas have been advised to shift to alternative fuels in the interim.
