Ahmedabad, July 28 (NationPress) Adani Total Gas Ltd (ATGL) announced a remarkable revenue from operations amounting to Rs 1,491 crore for the April-June quarter (Q1 FY26), marking a significant increase of 21 percent. This growth is attributed to a robust year-on-year volume surge of 16 percent, primarily fueled by a 21 percent rise in CNG volumes.
As of this quarter, the CNG stations network expanded to 650 stations across 34 Geographical Areas (GA), while over 9.9 lakh homes are now supplied with Piped Natural Gas (PNG), according to the company's statement.
The addition of new PNG connections has resulted in a 6 percent increase in PNG volume year-on-year. The company also enhanced its Industrial and Commercial connections to 9,456, with 157 new customers onboarded in the quarter ending June 30.
"During this quarter, we achieved a robust year-on-year volume growth of 16 percent, propelled by a 21 percent surge in CNG volumes. We are committed to expanding our CGD networks across all 34 Geographical Areas (GAs), boasting over 14,000 inch-km of backbone steel pipelines, 650 CNG stations, and are nearing 1 million consumers," stated Suresh P Manglani, ED and CEO of Adani Total Gas.
The number of EV charging points has also grown to over 3,800. This impressive performance was achieved while the APM gas allocation for CNG stood at 43 percent, with the remaining supplies supplemented by the allocation of higher-priced new wells and HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) gas.
“Thanks to our ongoing efforts to build a robust gas sourcing portfolio, enhance operational efficiency, and digitalize processes, we have ensured 100 percent reliability of supply and maintained prudent pricing for our consumers for both PNG and CNG. I am pleased to report that Team ATGL has delivered a consistent and stable EBITDA despite sharp year-on-year increases in gas prices," Manglani remarked.
In addition to the increased volume, gas costs rose by 31 percent, primarily due to the diminished allocation of APM to the CNG segment, which was substituted with high-priced new well gas and HPHT gas. To foster volume growth, the company adopted a measured approach in passing on the increased costs to consumers.
"We remain unwavering in our commitment to supporting India’s energy transition by delivering low-carbon solutions across the industrial, household, and transportation sectors," Manglani concluded.
