Adani Total Gas Limited reported a 27% year-on-year increase in standalone revenue to ₹1,908 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, driven by a 13% surge in sales volume to 303 MMSCM. Despite top-line growth, operating margins compressed as net profit declined 18% to ₹133 crore, primarily due to elevated natural gas costs linked to the West Asia crisis and increased reliance on expensive spot market purchases. Management indicated that margins are expected to recover once geopolitical tensions ease and long-term supply contracts stabilize.

Financial Performance and Margin Dynamics

The company’s EBITDA stood at ₹281 crore, down 7% year-on-year, reflecting pressure from input costs. Revenue from operations was reported at ₹1,908 crore in the earnings call, slightly varying from the initial filing of ₹1,910 crore. The cost of natural gas rose 39% to ₹1,454 crore. Management explained that the margin compression over the last six to eight quarters, falling from approximately 25% to 15%, is largely cyclical rather than structural. Key drivers include Brent-linked gas prices, U.S. dollar depreciation against the rupee, and a shift towards spot purchases after the withdrawal of the government’s pooled gas mechanism.

Operational Highlights and Sourcing Strategy

Operational expansion remained robust during the quarter. Adani Total Gas added 5 CNG stations, bringing its total network to 707, and expanded its steel pipeline infrastructure to 15,987-inch kilometers. Domestic PNG connections grew by 38,000 to reach 11.41 lakh households. The e-mobility segment saw significant traction, with EV charging points increasing to 5,306 and electricity sales doubling year-on-year to 3.3 million units.

Regarding gas sourcing, management disclosed that domestic APM and NWG allocations constitute around 40% of volumes, while long-term contracts account for 48%. Spot purchases currently make up approximately 15% of total consumption following curtailments. The company is exploring midterm purchases to mitigate exposure to volatile short-term spot prices. Industry representations are ongoing to potentially reinstate the pooled gas mechanism, which was withdrawn following a peace deal in the Middle East.

Outlook and Strategic Priorities

Sanjay Pandita, Chief Executive Officer, stated that volume growth will continue as the company expands its network across 53 geographical areas, including joint venture operations with IOCL-Adani Gas Private Limited (IOAGPL). The combined customer base stands at 13.74 lakh households. Management anticipates that the resolution of the Middle East crisis will lead to increased supply from the U.S. and Qatar, helping to normalize gas rates. The company aims to maintain its current pace of PNG connection additions while exploring new business models such as reticulated LPG systems to accelerate growth.
