Reason for improved liquid segment realization and sustainability
Asked by Yash Nandwani, IFL Capital
Management clearly attributed the improvement to product mix and J&P terminal, and confirmed sustainability.
Read the exchange
So we have seen a significant improvement in the blended realization in the liquid segment. Just wanted to understand is it all related to product mix improvement or also a function of improved turnaround or is there any take or pay in that and would it be reasonable to assume same realizations going forward?
this is not on account of any take pay. this is on account of better product mix and increased realization rate especially from our J&P terminal which has now stabilized operations... This is expected to stay and further improve going forward.

Reason for weakness in LPG volume and EBIT this quarter
Asked by Siddhhat Johan, BNK Securities
Management explained seasonality and quantified the revenue and depreciation impact on EBIT.
Read the exchange
any reason for the weakness in LPG volume and the LPG a bit? What particularly happened in this quarter?
usually across the board quarter 1 is the least, quarter 2, quarter 3 are always similar and quarter 4 is the surge. So, that is how this is happening. This is almost similar to Q2 in terms of volumes handled. As far as EBIT is concerned, as you know the revenues have reduced by 1 cr depreciation has increased by 1 cr and therefore the EBIT to that extent is affected and some cost.

Volume outlook for FY26 with Halia addition
Asked by Neil Odal Sahu, JM Financial
Management gave Q4 volume guidance but not full FY26 outlook as asked.
Read the exchange
would you like to provide some outlook on the volumes for FY26 given that Halia will be added for the first quarter?
Q4 typically Alia is at the utilization of 55% of throughput capacity. So accordingly the volumes of Alia will be added... VGC jetty at Tanda has started operating... we expect a volume increase at Kanda also for Q4. So yeah, we expect to do well in Q4... volume should definitely cross a million and more.
Annual volume run rate and quantum of exclusive agreement with HPCL at Halia
Asked by Neil Odal Sahu, JM Financial
Management provided historical volume growth but not the current run rate or contract quantum.
Read the exchange
you have talked about exclusive agreement with HBCL at the Halia terminal. Can you help us with like the annual volume run rate for the Har LPJ terminal and what is the quantum of this agreement with HPCL?
HPCL agreement is not a takeway agreement. It is a exclusive agreement. HPCL has to bring the cargo on the east coast at our HLA terminal... when we started their volumes were 0.4 million now it has reached more than 1.5 million... The capacity most we can do is 2.5 million.

Asked by Neil Odal Sahu, JM Financial

Read the exchange
can you help us with an update on KGPL and JLPL pipeline corrections to Kandra and paperwork?
we expect by February end to be able to commission JLPL. As far as Kandla Gurapur is concerned, I think the worst case scenario is June 26. It should happen before but I think by June we expect it to be operationalized both at Kangla as well as at Pawa.
Liquid capacity and utilization level in Q3 FY26
Asked by Kub, Modify Investments
Management provided capacity and occupancy figures clearly.
Read the exchange
can you please give me the capacity which we were having for liquid in Q3 FI26 and what was the utilization level of that capacity?
So it's 1.7 million. So what you do is the Q3 number run rate if you want to see you multiply by 4 and you divide by 1.7 million. So you'll get a yearly average rate realization. Occupancy has got no relevance here... if you want to technically understand what is the occupancy then it is 77% physical occupancy not revenue generating occupancy revenue generating occupancy always close to 100%.

The pipeline is Uran Chakan. You're correct. But our LG terminal is under construction. So we would be able to tap that once it commissions... we are already connected and hooked into Mumbai Chakan pipeline from our Mumbai terminal... in addition to that here in for our upcoming terminal we would also hook into Puran Shakan pipeline from JNPa
