Since Monday, 17 November 2025, the city of Mumbai has witnessed long lines at CNG stations around the city as a major gas pipeline was disrupted, affecting access to fuel for autorickshaws and taxis.

Mint reported earlier that the gas supply disruption was caused due to the damage in GAIL's main gas supply pipeline, which is located within the Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilisers (RCF) facility.

This damage resulted in an impact on the flow of compressed natural gas (CNG ) to the City Gate Station (CGS) at Wadala, which is an important supply point for natural gas into the city of Mumbai.

“Due to damage to the main gas pipeline inside RCF compound, the gas supply to MGL's City Gate Station (CGS) at Wadala has been affected,” said Mahanagar Gas, cited in a Hindustan Times report released on Sunday.“MGL is ensuring that supply to its domestic PNG (Piped Natural Gas) consumers is maintained on priority without interruption.”

Auto Rickshaw and Taxi drivers formed long queues in front of the Wadala CNG station. Mumbai has nearly 130–140 CNG stations, and many of them are operated by Mahanagar Gas.

According to a PTI report, many of these CNG pumps were out of operation since the morning of Monday due to the low pressure of the gas supply to the stations.
