⚡ MGL Falls 14% in a Week — Energy Shock from West Asia Conflict

Mahanagar Gas Limited (

) shares dropped nearly 14% this week, marking the fourth consecutive negative close as geopolitical tensions intensified in West Asia. The conflict escalated after strikes by the United States and Israel on Iran, followed by Iranian counter-strikes across the region, raising fears of supply disruption around the crucial Strait of Hormuz. Reflecting the pressure, Brent crude surged ~29% this week, while domestic LPG cylinder prices were hiked by ₹60 and commercial cylinders by ₹115. MGL, a major city gas distributor in Mumbai and nearby regions supplying CNG and PNG, is now trading near its April 2017 price levels, implying flat price returns for ~9 years, though regular dividends lift total returns to about ~2.5% CAGR. 📌 Disclaimer: This content is for information only and not investment advice.
