directWhat will be the distribution volume in FY27 and FY28?
We always had a target of 2 million tons. So we expect that to reach by 28. And mind you, we are also commissioning ammonia. So that means that ammonia distribution would form part of this 2 million gas distribution that we intend to do.

Volumes and margins have gone up. This is expected to sustain on account of volume increase that is going to happen which will bring procurement efficiency.

directWhat capex for new LPG/ammonia terminals?
It depends. We have just commissioned one terminal at a cost of 525 cr. So if it's one terminal then the same if there are multiple terminals they will be in the multiple of 525.

directWhat are the economics of ammonia logistics and distribution?
in the current year we expect around 25% utilization in the first year and thereafter growing at the rate of 30-40% year on year. Distribution... somewhere around 200,000 tons to begin with and then growing 20-30% year on year. The margins range from around 2,500 to 3,000. In distribution it could go up to 5,000 rupees.
Kunal Meta · Incred Equities
partialHow much of gas distribution improvement is from operating leverage vs price increase?
energy prices rising and uncertainty element being built into so the margins have improved during Q4... volumes also have jumped from around 520,000 to 750,000 that has also brought procurement efficiencies. So what was 4,000 and what has become 7,000 currently comprises part on account of volumes and part on account of margin improvement.

directHow much cash can Aegis Logistics use for asset building?
when you look at cash don't look at all standalone alone you also have to look at cash holding in its 100% subsidiaries so all put together will come to 5,930 crores.

directWere there any inventory gains in the quarter?
No. What do you mean by that? There's nothing like inventory gain which we book in P&L. We keep very low inventory. We are not here to keep more than a month inventory. So inventories are not long.
Why not increase the 25% growth guidance given strong performance?
No, we are a very conservative company and I think 25% tag growth is not small. We have achieved 32% last 5 years. Now remember the base is getting bigger and bigger. When we had first given our guidance we were at an EPS of six. Now we are at an EPS of 26.
