MNGL reduces Domestic PNG and CNG Prices in Ramanagara district

Bengaluru: In the wake of the Union Cabinet announcing a new price mechanism decision for the bulk of domestically-produced natural gas by state-run explorers resulting into reduction of costs of piped natural gas (PNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG) for automobiles, the Ramanagara - baqsed City Gas Distribution (CGD) Company, Maharashtra Natural Gas Limited (MNGL), has reduced the selling price of domestic Piped Natural Gas (PNG) by Rs 5.85 per SCM and the selling price of compressed natural gas (CNG) by Rs. 6.0 per Kg in Ramanagara district with effect from the midnight of 7th / 8th April, 2023. Accordingly, MNGL has reduced retail price of PNG to Rs. 52.65 per SCM from an earlier price of Rs 58.50 per SCM and the retail price of CNG to Rs. 84.00 per KG from Rs 90.00 per KG in MNGL's geographical areas.
