Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL), a leading natural gas distribution company in India, has launched its inaugural brand campaign, “Mumbai Chalta Hai MGL Par!”. Conceptualized by MX Advertising, this multimedia initiative underscores MGL’s pivotal role in fueling Mumbai’s relentless energy, marking a significant shift from its traditional image as a utility provider to a vital enabler of the city’s dynamic rhythm.
For over 30 years, MGL has been integral to Mumbai’s energy ecosystem, powering more than 2.8 million households with Piped Natural Gas (PNG) and over 1.1 million vehicles with Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). Additionally, it supports numerous industrial and commercial establishments across the city. The campaign leverages these impressive statistics to highlight MGL’s extensive reach and impact, emphasizing its role as the backbone of Mumbai’s daily operations.
Neera Phate, Head of Corporate Communications at MGL, stated, “Every day, millions of Mumbaikars rely on MGL, often unaware of its presence. From kitchens in over 2.8 million homes to more than 1.1 million vehicles, MGL is a lifeline for the city. This campaign celebrates our deep connection with Mumbai and the reality that ‘Mumbai Chalta Hai MGL Par!’”
