The ongoing gas supply disruption in Mumbai has now started affecting passengers arriving at and departing from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. The shortage has made it difficult for auto rickshaw drivers to refill their CNG tanks, forcing them to operate on limited fuel since Sunday.

From around noon on Sunday, long queues of 30 to 40 passengers were seen at the auto stand, with waiting times ranging from 10 to 45 minutes. At Terminal 2, there are two auto lines, one for pickup and one for drop off. This reporter observed that most drivers were dropping off passengers and immediately exiting the stand without taking any new passengers.
