In Mumbai this year, the rate of CNG has risen to around Rs.16 in a period of 11 months that seems to be a big burden on more than 8 lakh consumers including more than 3 lakh private car users.
In the past 3 months, this is the fourth hike. Moreover, there is a demand from the owners of Kaali Peeli taxi and autorickshaw unions to hike Rs.5 and Rs.2 in the minimum fares.
