Mahanagar Gas Limited has raised CNG prices by â‚ą2 per kg, taking the new rate to â‚ą88 per kg, while domestic PNG has gone up by â‚ą1 per SCM to â‚ą53 per SCM.

Rs 250 crore elevated viaduct error at Mumbai Metro 7A may face demolition

If a technical solution is not found A planning error on Mumbai’s Metro Line 7A could force the demolition and reconstruction of nearly 1 km of an elevated viaduct in Vile Parle East, with the height of overhead electric wires exceeding the clearance permitted by the Airports Authority of India in the airport funnel zone

The mismatch, involving about 2.5 metres, has brought work on the stretch to a halt despite most of the civil construction being complete. If a technical solution is not found, work worth around Rs 250 crore could have to be redone, further delaying the 3.4-km Metro Line 7A connecting Andheri East with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport.
The line was originally scheduled to open in 2021 and has already missed several deadlines. The latest issue indicates it is unlikely to open in the financial year 2026-27.
