With the hike in fares of CNG from Tuesday, taxi and auto unions have warned of an agitation if their demands for a fare hike are not considered. Mahanagar Gas Limited hiked the prices by Rs 2.66 per kg in addition to the rise in prices of cooking gas by Rs 1.89 per Standard Cubic Metre in and around Mumbai, effective from midnight of October 1, 2018 / early morning of October 2, 2018.

"We want the minimum fare to be revised to Rs 25. We have kept quiet all these months, but now it will become unaffordable to drive taxis and we are going to agitate," Mumbai Taximen's Union leader Anthony L Quadros told mid-day.
