Revenue guidance

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.
  • Capital expenditure largely on petrochemicals and pipeline infrastructure; pipeline CapEx is expected to be relatively low going forward after current projects.

Fundraise plans

  • There is no explicit mention of any new fundraising through debt or equity in the transcript.
  • The company is funding its capital expenditure largely through internal cash generation rather than new borrowings, indicating limited reliance on fresh debt (Page 26).
  • Capital expenditure is ongoing on pipelines and petrochemicals with a balanced situation expected for about two years (Page 29).
  • Interest costs will increase somewhat due to capitalized interest moving into P&L, but the impact is expected to be manageable and not a cause for concern (Page 26).
  • No definitive capex plans currently exist for new energy initiatives like hydrogen; pilot plants are underway with assessment ongoing (Page 14).
  • No specific plans or announcements about equity fundraising were disclosed.
