The ongoing LPG shortage in Mumbai has led to significant price increases at restaurants, with many establishments raising menu prices by 10-20%. This crisis began following a government circular on March 5, which prioritized LPG supply for domestic use, causing hoarding and black marketing. As a result, restaurants like Udupi Shri Krishna in Kamla Mills have raised prices, with a veg sandwich now costing ₹90, up from ₹70. Smaller eateries, such as Aram Vada Pav, are also feeling the pinch, with prices expected to rise by 7-10% soon. Legacy bakeries, including the 118-year-old American Express Bakery, have reduced production by about 30% due to limited gas supply, leading to potential price hikes of 10-15% on certain items by mid-May. To adapt, some businesses are using alternative fuels like coal and induction stoves. Authorities are promoting a shift to Piped Natural Gas (PNG) as a long-term solution, with assistance camps set up for restaurant owners. The entire food ecosystem in Mumbai is affected, with higher food prices becoming an unavoidable reality for consumers.
