Pune, 13th November 2026: CNG now costs Rs 99.75 a kg in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad after Maharashtra Natural Gas Limited (MNGL) raised the price by Rs 1.25 from midnight on Thursday. Domestic piped gas (PNG) has gone up by Rs 1.50 to Rs 51.75 per standard cubic metre (SCM), Saam TV reported.
The new rates apply from Friday, November 13, in MNGL’s Pune area, which includes Pimpri-Chinchwad, Chakan, Talegaon and Hinjewadi, and in Nashik.
Old and new CNG and PNG rates
| Fuel | Old rate | New rate | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNG (per kg) | Rs 98.50 | Rs 99.75 | + Rs 1.25 |
| Domestic PNG (per SCM) | Rs 50.25 | Rs 51.75 | + Rs 1.50 |
The old rates in the table are worked out from the new price and the size of the hike. One version of Sakal’s report gave slightly different figures in its body text, so check the rate board at your pump.
Why MNGL raised prices
MNGL cited higher costs of the gas it buys, including imported liquefied natural gas (LNG), according to Saam TV. The company had not published a detailed note on the change on its website at the time of writing.
What the hike means for auto and cab drivers
CNG is the main fuel for Pune’s autorickshaws, app cabs and a large share of PMPML’s bus fleet. As a worked example, an auto that uses 4 kg of CNG a day will spend Rs 5 more each day, or about Rs 150 more in a 30-day month.
For a private CNG car owner who fills 8 kg twice a week, the extra cost is about Rs 20 a week.
Auto fares in Pune are fixed by the Regional Transport Authority, not by MNGL, so fares do not change automatically with this hike.
What it means for homes on piped gas
A family using about 15 SCM of PNG a month will pay roughly Rs 22.50 more per month. The change will show on your next MNGL bill. If you are thinking of switching from LPG cylinders, our guide on how to apply for an MNGL PNG connection in Pune explains the steps and charges.
Is CNG still cheaper than petrol?
For most cars, yes. Petrol in Pune costs more than Rs 100 a litre, and CNG cars usually run further on a kg of gas than petrol cars do on a litre. The gap has narrowed after several CNG hikes this year, though. Our page on LPG cylinder prices in Pune has the latest cooking gas rates for comparison.
What is still not clear
MNGL has not said whether more revisions are expected in the coming months. We will update this story if the company issues an official statement.
