Goregaon-Oshiwara and Ghatkopar bus depots get CNG dispensers in first phase

In partnership with Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST), the Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL), one of the largest city gas distribution companies in India, launched ‘MGL Tez’ at Ghatkopar BEST Bus Depot on Thursday, May 18.

A dedicated CNG dispenser for ‘MGL Tez’ users was inaugurated by Lokesh Chandra, General Manager, BEST and MGL’s Board Director, Syed Shahnawaz Hussain, as part of the launch. Sanjay Shende, Deputy Managing Director, MGL and Senior officials of Mahanagar Gas Limited and BEST were present on the occasion.

Commenting on the partnership, Lokesh Chandra, General Manager, Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport said, “BEST is pleased to partner with MGL for furthering the green initiative of providing environment-friendly fuel. This initiative will not only make CNG filling convenient for Mumbaikars but will also enable us to further utilise our resources for the benefit of the society.” 

Currently, this service is available at Goregaon - Oshiwara and Ghatkopar bus depots, with plans to have similar facilities in other 13 bus depots across Mumbai that are managed by BEST.

The newly launched mobile application allows users of four-wheeler CNG vehicles to book time slots for refuelling at the CNG facility at BEST bus depot. Available on Google Play Store, ‘MGL Tez’ App can be used to minimize waiting in long queue by CNG vehicle owners by pre-booking a time slot as per convenience. The depots will have a dedicated CNG dispenser specifically for bookings made through ’MGL Tez’. Users can book time slots between 9.00 AM and 07.00 PM, on any day of the week, get the CNG filled and make the payment digitally.
