Analyst's Notes

IGL: Q4FY25 Result Update - 29 Apr 2025

Overall volumes increased by 4% YoY, driven by a 2/13/32% growth in Delhi/NCR/other geographical areas (GAs). 

   *Standard cubic meter (including one off reversal), Standalone numbers 

Post conference call our observations are-  

  • Inadequate price rise- IGL took Rs.1/kg hike in Delhi while in other GAs, Rs.3/kg price hike was implemented, marking the second hike in those regions. These prices have not mitigated the impact of rise in overall cost. 
  • Diversification in non-core areas- IGL has made an investment of Rs. 382 crores for setting up a solar plant in Rajasthan through a joint venture with Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (RVUNL). Management rationale for the same is multifold: (a) Return on equity between 14-15% (current RoEs 18-20%), (b) 50% right for captive consumption, thus reducing energy cost, (c) diversification towards renewable energy sources. We are apprehensive about investments in projects where RoEs are lower than core business.
  • Management targets ~8% volume growth next year, in line 7% CAGR over FY20-25. On EBITDA margin front they are targeting Rs. 6-6.5 EBITDA/SCM next year and Rs. 7-8 EBITDA/SCM over the long term. This will be possible by securing long-term gas sourcing agreements or through spot prices declining.

IGL:Q3FY25 Result Update - 31 Jan 2025

Overall volumes increase by 7% YoY, driven by a 6% in Delhi and a 30% growth in other geographic areas apart from Delhi. While margins were impacted due to change in gas sourcing. 

   Highlights from conference call:

  • The current gas sourcing mix, after reductions, stands at 47% from APM and Non-APM, while the remaining 53% comes from RLNG, of which two-thirds are sourced from Henry Hub and one-third from Brent-linked gas.

  • The company is increasing the proportion of new well gas following the reduction in APM. However, new well gas is 20% costlier than APM, which could impact the company’s profitability.

  • The company anticipates potential price increases in the near future in Delhi. This price hike (Rs. 2-3/kg) for CNG is not expected to significantly impact its volume growth trajectory as the company has implemented price hikes in other geographical areas without material impact on volumes.

  • The company has implemented a price hike in the following areas:

    • Kanpur, Hamirpur, and Fatehpur: Rs 4 per kg increase.

    • Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurgaon, Karnal, and Kaithal: Rs 2 per kg increase.

    • Muzaffarnagar, Meerut, Shamli, Mahoba, Banda, and Chitrakoot: Rs 3 per kg increase.

    • Ajmer, Pali, and Rajsamand: Rs 1.5 per kg increase. 

    • These areas contribute to 30% of the company’s total volume.

  • Additionally, the company is focusing on LNG and CBG to enhance both volume and profitability. Three LNG stations are currently under construction.

  • Management expects the volume at the end of this financial year to reach 9.5 MMSCMD and EBITDA/SCM of Rs. 7-8 in Q4.

Note: The company has declared bonus shares in a 1:1 ratio, with the record date set as 31st January 2025 to determine shareholder eligibility. 

IGL Faces Another Gas Allocation Cut: Impact Assessment - 15 Nov 2024

IGL reported further 20% reduction in gas allocation by nodal agency GAIL, effective from November 16, 2024. We had written about reduction in gas allocation in our earlier notes- quarterly as well as a note on change in sourcing mix.

As mentioned above, company has diversified gas sourcing mix. APM (administered price mechanism; government allocated) sourced gas is ~35% lower than spot prices and hence company could maintain healthy profitability. Now allocation of this is reduced by ~40% and hence raw material costs will increase. 

What triggers can make up for this increase in raw material costs?

  • Anticipated price hike (dependant on market dynamics). This price hike (Rs. 4-5/kg) for CNG is not expected to significantly impact its volume growth trajectory.
  • The company is actively engaging with the government to advocate for tax rationalization, including potential reductions in excise duty and VAT. This trend is expected to offset any negative impact arising from reduced APM gas allocations.
  • Additionally, the company is seeking a lower GST rate for CNG and LNG vehicles and equipment, aligning it more closely with the current 5% GST rate for EVs.

IGL:Q2FY25 Result Update - 08 Nov 2024

Overall volumes increased by 9% YoY, driven by a 7% growth in Delhi NCR and a 29% growth in newer geographic areas (Noida, Ghaziabad are expanding at a rate of 17-18%). While margins were impacted due to change in gas sourcing, company’s growth plans are intact. 

Highlights from the conference call- 

Gas sourcing mix

  • We have written about reduction in gas allocation to CGD in earlier note (read). Management commented that they have secured short term RLNG (regassified liquefied natural gas) supplies and will enter into long term gas supply contracts after evaluation (mostly in next financial year). Also, the company doesn’t anticipate any drastic cut in future. 

  • The Industrial and Commercial segment, being entirely reliant on RLNG, is inherently linked to market prices. However, the pricing remains competitive compared to alternative fuels. The Domestic PNG segment continues to receive 105% of its allocated gas, ensuring uninterrupted supply. The impact of the recent gas allocation reduction is primarily felt in the CNG segment.

  • The company anticipates potential price increases in the near future (dependant on market dynamics). This price hike (Rs. 2-3/kg) for CNG is not expected to significantly impact its volume growth trajectory.

Future plans and capital expenditure  

  • The company aims to achieve a total volume of 3,400 mmscmd for FY25 and projects a year-on-year growth rate of 8-10% in absolute volume across all segments. Additionally, the company is prioritizing LNG and CBG to enhance both volume and profitability.
  • LNG opportunity
    • IGL has secured short-term LNG supplies for the month of November. Longer-term arrangements are currently under evaluation.
    • The company believes that the absence of excise duty on LNG, combined with careful consideration of costs, transportation, and other factors, will help maintain profitability levels (similar profile to rest of the business).
    • It has ambitious plans to establish approximately 50 LNG stations within the next 3-5 years. This aligns with the government's initiative to allocate 0.5 million metric standard cubic meters per day (MMSCMD) of gas for LNG from the APM (administered price mechanism).
  • The company has a capital expenditure (capex) target of Rs. 1,700 crore for the current fiscal year. This will be allocated primarily to Delhi NCR region (45-55%) and other geographic areas (45%).

Other highlights-

  • The company is actively engaging with the government to advocate for tax rationalization, including potential reductions in excise duty and VAT. This trend is expected to offset any negative impact arising from reduced APM gas allocations.
  • Additionally, the company is seeking a lower GST rate for CNG and LNG vehicles and equipment, aligning it more closely with the current 5% GST rate for EVs.
  • Declared interim dividend of Rs. 5.5/share (total 2% yield on CMP of Rs 442).

Moneyworks4me Opinion-

IGL: Change in sourcing mix- opportunity or exit? - 18 Oct 2024

What is mentioned in company notification to exchanges?

The company gets domestic gas allocation for meeting the requirement of CNG sales volumes (majorly auto; 75% of overall volumes) at the pricing fixed by the Govt. (presently at $6.5/mmbtu). The revised domestic gas allocation to company is approx. 21 % lesser than previous allocation. The company is in discussion with key stakeholders to minimize the impact.

How has the market reacted? 

The stock has corrected ~10% since morning and currently trades around Rs. 450. 

What is our take?

IGL sources on average about 1/3rd from APM (administered price mechanism) source, RLNG is long term sourced from mix of APM/NAPM (non-administered price mechanism). At most the impact of lower allocation from APM source will be ~10% on overall raw material volumes (21%* APM sourced ~50%). IGL can source the same from open market, as it already does (Spot prices are ~11 mmbtu), increasing overall pricing by ~7-8%.

Q1FY25 concall highlights- 

  • In Q1 FY25, IGL posted a sales volume of ~786 MMSCM, which grew by ~5% on a YoY basis. This is after absorbing the decrease in CNG sales to DTC buses.  Within the product mix, the company did ~587 MMSCM in CNG, and 153 MMSCM in PNG Segment (CNG & PNG segment account for 79% and 21% of total volume sales) which grew by ~5%/10% respectively on a YoY basis.

  • Capex Plan: The Company is expected to incur ~Rs. 1,700 Cr to Rs 1,800 Cr in FY25 (out of which ~Rs. 300 Cr spent in Q1 FY25) for capacity expansion and new initiatives like CBG (Compressed Biogas) plants and LNG stations.

  • New initiatives: Compressed Biogas (CBG) is a purified form of biogas with a high methane content (usually more than 90%), making it similar to compressed natural gas (CNG) in terms of energy content and utility. CBG plants will help the IGL to mitigate the risk of reducing APM (Administrative Price Mechanism) gas allocation. IGL is planning to add 10 CBG plant in this financial year for the capex of around ~Rs. 350 Cr.

About Indraprastha Gas Ltd

Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) is incorporated in 1998, the company is a Joint Venture of GAIL and BPCL. Government of National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi is also holding 5% equity. The company was listed in stock exchange in December 2003. IGL started its operations in NCT of Delhi in 1999 with only 9 CNG stations and 1000 PNG consumers.

The project was started to lay the network for the distribution of natural gas in the National Capital Territory of Delhi to consumers in the domestic, transport, and commercial sectors. With the backing of strong promoters - GAIL (India) and Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) - IGL plans to provide natural gas in the entire capital region.

Business area of the company

The company mainly operates in two businesses, they are:

  • To provide safe, convenient and reliable natural gas supply to its customers in the domestic and commercial sectors.
  • To provide a cleaner, environment-friendly alternative as auto fuel to residents of the areas of NCT of Delhi; districts Gautam Budh Nagar, Ghaziabad, Hapur, Muzaffarnagar, Shamli, uncovered parts of Meerut & Kanpur, Fatehpur and Hamirpur in Uttar Pradesh; districts Rewari, Gurugram, Karnal and Kaithal in Haryana; and, district Ajmer, Pali & Rajsamand in Rajasthan. This will considerably bring down the alarmingly high levels of pollution.

Products

PNG - PNG is mainly methane - CH4 with a small percentage of other higher hydrocarbons. The ratio of carbon to hydrogen is least in methane and hence it burns almost completely making it the cleanest fuel. It is procured from the oil / gas wells and transported through a network of pipelines across the country.

CNG - CNG stands for compressed natural gas. It is gaseous fuel and is a mixture of hydrocarbons mainly Methane. For use in Automobiles as fuel, it is compressed to a pressure of 200-250 Kg/cm² to enhance the vehicle on-board storage capacity.CNG is a fossil fuel substitute for other auto fuels such as petrol, diesel, Auto LPG etc.
