    However, we see this changing for MGL, given Mgmt. focus on stable pricing to boost CNG demand and keeping reasonable margins, acquisition of Unison Enviro improving LT prospects, macros & gas sourcing staying comfortable, and a strong balance sheet. With vol. growth outlook of the peer-set turning volatile and capturing EV risks adequately, MGL—which has logged over 4% volume CAGR (vs pre-Covid) in 9MFY24 (8% growth YoY in Q3FY24)—should see a rerating, as the 6% volume CAGR guidance seems achievable and with earnings now driven by core volume. Our target P/E is ~13x FY26E consol. EPS.
