“The fast-track development of steel pipeline and CNG stations has helped in creating natural gas ecosystem in geographical areas where we are present and will now help in connecting PNG consumers going forward. ATGL appreciates the Government of India’s decision on approving the ceiling and floor price on domestic gas, which will ensure stability in domestic gas price. Further, ATGL has passed on the benefit to the end consumers. We are confident that this, coupled with the softening of R-LNG prices, will drive increased demand across both PNG and CNG segments and ATGL will play pivotal role in achieving government vision in moving towards gas-based economy, ” said Mr. Suresh P Manglani, Executive Director & CEO of Adani Total Gas.
CNG volume increased 28 percent YoY on account of network expansion of CNG stations, said the company in a press release.
On the other hand, PNG volume decreased by 13 percent YoY due to lesser offtake of gas largely by industrial consumers owing to high PNG prices. As of FY23 end, the company's CNG stations increased to 460.
The company said that it has added 126 new CNG stations, thus now standing at 460, while total PNG home at 7.04 lakh, added over 1.24 lakh new homes. The industrial & commercial connections increased by 867 new consumers to 7435.
On Tuesday, the company's scrip ended 1.29 per cent up at ₹956.85 on BSE.
