Category 3- Transmission volume expected to increase by 10 to 12 MMSCMD in FY25, reaching 130-132 MMSCMD, and further to 140 MMSCMD in the following year.
- Gas marketing volumes projected to grow by 20 MMSCMD over the next couple of years, driven mainly by CGDs and ramping fertilizer plants like Sindri, Barauni, Gorakhpur.
- Country-wide natural gas consumption expected to grow by about 15 MMSCMD annually, crossing 200 MMSCMD this year.
- Expansion targets include connecting 12.5 crore domestic households, which could demand 30-50 MMSCMD gas, especially via CGD networks.
- Growth areas include domestic gas, RLNG, and new pipeline infrastructure, notably in the Northeast (e.g., Guwahati-Barauni pipeline) with increasing utilization.
- Marketing profit guidance for FY25 is at least INR 4,000 crore, with a significant portion already backed by contracts.

Fundraise plans
- There is no explicit mention of any new fundraising through debt or equity in the transcript.
