Geojit's research report on Indraprastha Gas

Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) processes and distributes compressed natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas. The Company has been jointly promoted by Bharat Petroleum Corporation and Gas Authority of India. Standalone revenue rose 21.0% QoQ (+52.9% YoY) in Q3FY22, aided by robust volume growth of 5.8% QoQ to 704 SCMmn (+22.2% YoY). CNG volumes up 25.6% YoY and PNG volumes up 13.5% YoY. EBITDA fell 11.4% QoQ to Rs.470cr (-6.2% YoY) with EBITDA margin contracting 700bps QoQ to 19.3% (-1,210bps YoY) due to higher purchased gas cost with increased gas prices. We expect performance to significantly improve with strong volume growth, extensive geographical coverage, government’s initiative to increase natural gas consumption and the experience of the company’s highly qualified senior management personnel.
