A major disruption of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) supply affected vehicles across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) on Monday, November 17, 2025. The disruption was caused by damage to GAIL’s main gas pipeline at the RCF premises in Trombay, which also impacted the gas supply at MGL’s City Gate Station (CGS) in Wadala since Sunday, November 16, 2025. As a result, a significant number of CNG stations (164 out of 389) in Mumbai, Thane, and Navi Mumbai were rendered inoperable. Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL) prioritized supply to domestic Piped Natural Gas consumers and anticipates restoring full gas supply by November 18, 2025, after the pipeline is repaired.
