Mumbai: Bringing big relief to Mumbaikars, Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL), one of the largest City Gas Distribution companies in India, in collaboration with Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST), will be extending the ‘MGL Tez’ facility to all 15 BEST bus depots across Mumbai. This announcement follows the success of the facilities at Ghatkopar and Goregaon-Oshiwara bus depots, which were launched in 2023.
Recently, at a special event held at the Gorai BEST bus depot, A.S. Rao, Asst. General Manager-BEST and Sanjay Shende, Deputy Managing Director-MGL, made this momentous announcement.
Following the successful pilot project, the MGL Tez facility will be extended to 13 more BEST bus depots located at Anik, Deonar, Dharavi, Dindoshi, Gorai, Magathane, Majas, Mulund, Mumbai Central, Poisar, Pratiksha Nagar, Santacruz, and Wadala, for utilising the CNG infrastructure at these depots, which are spread across Mumbai for the benefit of Mumbaikars.
MGL Tez application is available on Google Play Store for download, and commercial CNG vehicle users like trucks and tempos can download the app and book their convenient time slots for refuelling their vehicles at any of the above-mentioned BEST bus depots. This will considerably reduce their wait time in the refuelling queues.
Commenting on the association, A.S. Rao, Asst. General Manager, BEST, said, “Through MGL Tez and our collaboration with Mahanagar Gas Limited, we have taken a major step forward in enhancing Mumbai’s public utility services. It will not only ease congestion and save time for commercial vehicle owners but also improve overall traffic movement around refuelling stations. Let this initiative be an example for others to follow.”
Commenting on the initiative, Sanjay Shende, Deputy Managing Director, Mahanagar Gas Limited, said, “The positive reception for our pilot project at Ghatkopar and Goregaon - Oshiwara BEST bus depots motivated us to further strengthen our association with BEST and create a wider network to serve Mumbaikars. By expanding it to 13 more depots, we hope we can bring ease to commercial vehicle owners, who are constantly on the move. We are committed to delivering innovative, technology-driven solutions that benefit citizens. This commitment showcases our continued efforts toward clean, accessible, and customer-centric energy services for Mumbaikars”.
Users can book time slots on the MGL Tez app between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM on any day of the week to refuel CNG in their vehicles and can also make the payment digitally.
