IGL reported a steady quarter with total sales volume growing 3% YoY to 867 million SCM, driven by resilient CNG demand (up 10% ex-DTC) and PNG growth of 5%. Revenue rose 8% YoY to ₹465 crore, while EBITDA surged 31% to ₹473 crore and PAT grew 25% to ₹358 crore, aided by regulatory tailwinds (Gujarat VAT cut, transmission tariff rationalization) partially offset by forex headwinds. Management reiterated volume guidance of exiting FY26 at 10 MMSCMD and adding 1 MMSCMD annually, with EBITDA margin improving to ₹7-8/SCM as tariff benefits flow through. Key risks include DTC bus phase-out (now minimal) and potential delays in realizing transmission tariff benefits.
