Said on the call
“We like to at least grow in our volumes 25% year-on-year every year. That's our hope. That's how we work for.”
From the Q&A
| Topic | What management said |
|---|---|
| Gas Throughput Charges and Volume Focus | Management stated standard rates are INR1,175-1,200 per metric ton, with business driven by volume growth, not escalation of rates, explaining why terminal charges haven't risen like distribution margins. |
| LPG Demand and Sourcing Strategy | Management highlighted a diversified sourcing strategy (not reliant solely on the Middle East) as key to maintaining volumes during geopolitical disruption, and sees no long-term threat from PNG to residential LPG demand. |
| Capacity Expansion and Growth Targets | Management expects to reach a Rs 10,000 crore gross block by March-June 2027, and targets 25% annual volume growth, driven by new capacity, better utilization, and replacement of inefficient operators. |
| Future Growth and Funding | Beyond the current capex plan, management is exploring inland depots, strategic storage, and industrial terminals to meet a $5 billion capex objective by 2030-31, to be funded via a mix of debt and equity while maintaining a debt gearing cap of 0.6x. |
| Pipeline Commissioning Timeline | Four pipeline connections are expected in FY27: Jamnagar-Loni (operational), Kandla-Gorakhpur (at Kandla and Pipavav within 2-3 months), and Haldia-Panagarh (expected Oct-Nov 2026). |
