High Gas Costs and Policy Uncertainty Keep CGD Outlook Muted

The Indian central government introduced a six-month policy scheme starting 1 September to boost domestic piped natural gas (D-PNG) adoption by allocating an additional 200 standard cubic metres (scm) of lower-cost Administered Price Mechanism (APM) gas for each new customer acquired. Cost Savings Potential: Because household gas usage is well under 200 scm, companies can replace costlier market-priced gas with cheaper APM gas, offering potential pre-tax profit relief of up to ₹110 crore for MGL and ₹20 crore for

(based on $12/mmbtu market vs. $7/mmbtu APM rates). Focus on Existing Networks: Since the incentive is a temporary, one-time allocation, distributors are expected to prioritize converting inactive connections in already-connected areas rather than expanding network infrastructure, bridging the gap between 1.74 crore total connections and 1.1 crore active users. Weak Q1FY27 Financial Performance: Indraprastha Gas Ltd (IGL) and Mahanagar Gas Ltd (MGL) suffered year-on-year EBITDA declines of 42% and 12%, respectively, whereas Gujarat Energy Ltd (GEL) saw EBITDA rise 68% primarily due to its gas-trading division following corporate restructuring. Mixed Stock Market Performance: Year-to-date, MGL shares are up 0.3%, IGL has dropped around 22%, and GEL lost 8.4% after its July transmission business demerger, leaving the trio trading at roughly 9.5 to 11.7 times 1-year forward P/E. Persistent Long-Term Headwinds: Although volume growth expectations remain positive, analysts warn that long-term recovery depends on lower global gas prices and a resolution to West Asia geopolitical tensions, as ad-hoc policy shifts continue to weigh on stock valuations.

Shares of city gas distributors climb on PNG incentive scheme

Shares of

as (IGL), Mahanagar Gas (MGL) and Adani Total Gas rose up to 3.5% on Wednesday after the government approved an incentive scheme to accelerate domestic piped natural gas (PNG) connections. Under the scheme, effective from September 1, 2026, eligible city gas distribution companies will receive an additional 200 standard cubic metres of cheaper, domestically produced APM gas for every incremental billed household PNG connection above a set threshold. The allocation will help replace costlier imported LNG used in the CNG segment, lowering overall sourcing costs. Officials said the measure should cut the payback period on new domestic connections from about 10 years to roughly three years. It aims to convert India’s large pool of unbilled PNG connections into active, paying users and expand the network, reducing reliance on imported LPG amid supply disruptions.
