Mahanagar Gas Ltd. (MGL) reported revenues of INR 6.19 bln, (+16.7% YoY and 5.5% QoQ) led by higher volume growth. Total sales volumes for the quarter stood at 2.9 mmscmd – 2.1 mmscmd for CNG and 0.8 mmscmd for PNG. CNG sales volumes increased 12.6% YoY while PNG sales registered a growth of 10.1% YoY. EBITDA stood at INR 2.1 bn, up +4% YoY, however the EBITDA margins declined 416 bps YoY due to a one-time payment to OMCs with respect to increase in marketing margins and also due to rise in other expenses (+24.3% YoY).
