Key Business updates

  • As earlier notified by the Company, during the quarter under reporting APM Allocation of natural gas for CNG(T) segment was reduced impacting the profitability as Company had to bridge the shortfall with costlier purchase of natural gas to ensure uninterrupted supply of CNG to end consumers.  This allocation was reduced for the entire CGD sector.
  • For ATGL, the allocation of APM gas for CNG (T) segment was reduced from 63% to 51% from 16th October 2024, and then further from 51% to 37% effective 16th November 2024 onwards.
  • Taking the above reductions into account, the average supply of APM based natural gas for CNG (T) segment during the quarter was at ~47%. As stated, the shortfall was met through supplies under the existing contracts, allocation of natural gas under New Well gas pricing mechanism and by ways of purchase through IGX gas exchange, ensuring uninterrupted supply.
  • Recently, with effect from 16th January 2025, APM allocation of natural gas for CNG (T) has increased from 37% to 51%. As already notified by the Company, this would have a positive impact for the next quarter.

Adani Total Gas (ATGL), India’s leading energy transition company, continues its mission of transforming India’s energy landscape through extensive infrastructure development.

“ATGL maintained its growth trajectory, focusing on customer centric approach and delivering a robust operational performance with a notable 15% year-on-year increase in volume. Despite the reduced APM gas allocation, Team ATGL ensured an uninterrupted supply of CNG to our large masses of consumers by sourcing additional supplies of gas through alternative options.

We are striving to further accelerate development of PNG and CNG infrastructure across our 34 GAs, including the recently added Jalandhar GA in Punjab,” said Mr. Suresh P Manglani, ED & CEO, ATGL.
