Revenue guidance

Category 3
  • →Natural Gas Transmission volume expected around 123 MMSCMD for FY'27, with potential revisions based on geopolitical/domestic demand changes. (Page 3)
  • →Transmission volume growth driven by increased PNG connections, industrial uptake, and CGD sector expansion, targeting 275 new CNG stations and 3.7 lakh new DPNG connections over next two years. (Page 4)
  • →LPG-HC production increased 20% due to additional gas allocation; production likely stable around 1.9 MMSCMD for FY'27. (Pages 6, 13)
  • →Petrochemical unit (Pata Plant) moving towards ethane feedstock for sustainable margins; full utilization expected soon. (Pages 6, 10)
  • →Incremental demand growth anticipated from CGD, fertilizer, power, industrial sectors, and LNG long-haul trucks as per PNGRB Vision 2030 targeting ~300 MMSCMD gas consumption. (Pages 5, 10, 13)
  • →New pipeline projects and capacity augmentations under implementation, e.g., Jharsuguda pipeline volumes expected to rise with industries and fertilizer plants. (Pages 4, 10)
  • →Strategic gas sourcing expansions planned, including long-term contracts and diverse geographies to bolster supply up to 2030. (Page 13)

Margin guidance

Category 3
  • →Profitability for LPG, gas trading, and petrochemical segments is expected to decline in coming quarters due to cooling of high prices in Q1 FY27 (Page 13).
  • →Gas marketing PBT guidance for FY26-27 is maintained at around ₹4,500 crore, with possible revision after subsequent quarter results (Page 3).
  • →Polymer segment (petrochemicals) running at breakeven expected in FY27; shift to ethane feedstock aimed at sustainable long-term margins (Page 3).
  • →Transmission volume expected to be around 123 MMSCMD for FY27, assuming geopolitical stability (Page 3).
  • →Ongoing commissioning of petrochemical plants (GMPL and PDH-PP) expected to start contributing to earnings from FY28 onwards; full profitability likely by FY29 (Page 6).
  • →Strong capital expenditure (₹6,176 crore in Q1) towards infrastructure and projects supports medium to long-term growth (Page 4).
  • →Overall, earnings growth may moderate from the Q1 high due to normalization of price arbitrage and geopolitical factors but new projects and government policies provide growth tailwinds.
