Rising industrial demand to drive volume recovery for Gujarat Gas

The company derives about 72% of its sales volumes from the industrial segment

Rising demand for piped natural gas (PNG) from industrial users augurs well for Gujarat Gas. The company derives about 72 per cent of its sales volumes from the industrial segment as against 12 per cent for Indraprastha Gas (IGL) and 14 per cent for Mahanagar Gas (MGL) and hence is best placed to benefit from the higher growth of industrial volumes. Falling liquefied natural gas (LNG) prices globally will expedite the shift towards LNG from other coal-based fuels, believe analysts. Analysts at Elara Capital expect industrial PNG volumes could double to about 10 million metric standard cubic metre per day
