The Mumbai-based city gas distributor expects this substantial increase in allocation to positively impact its profitability. The announcement comes at a time when city gas distribution companies have been seeking higher domestic gas allocations to maintain operational stability.

This development represents a significant shift in gas allocation for MGL, which provides compressed natural gas (CNG) for vehicles and piped natural gas (PNG) for domestic, commercial, and industrial use in its operational areas.
