28 February 2025, Mumbai: Aligning with the Bombay High Court’s directive and Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) mandate to promote clean fuel, Mahanagar Gas Limited has reviewed and revised its policy to further facilitate eateries and bakeries impacted by the directives in switching to Piped Natural Gas (PNG). Mahanagar Gas Limited has waived off the Security Deposit (towards infrastructure) for such eateries and bakeries in Mumbai.

Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL) takes a bank guarantee as a limited period refundable security deposit from its industrial & commercial customers towards the cost incurred in laying the last-mile dedicated gas infrastructure for the customer. MGL has now taken a decision to waive this requirement for eateries and bakeries impacted by the directives to support a cleaner environment and help businesses in their transition to cleaner fuel.

MGL has also proactively decided to facilitate interested customers in obtaining statutory approvals wherever required for converting their facilities from polluting fuel to natural gas. MGL will also bear the cost of the downstream pipelines and metering facilities, ensuring that apart from end use/cooking appliances, no other expense is incurred by these establishments.

This initiative reinforces Mahanagar Gas Limited’s commitment to sustainability and a cleaner Mumbai.
