2-Minute Summary

✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Petronet LNG reported a mixed Q3 FY26 with PAT of ₹848 cr (down 2.2% YoY) despite record capacity utilization at Kochi terminal at 29% and Dahej at 94%. Overall LNG volumes processed grew 2% YoY to 233 TBQ, supported by softer LNG prices boosting offtake from existing customers. Management highlighted strong competitive advantages at Dahej (lowest regas charges, 35 MTPA evacuation capacity) and expects Kochi-Bangalore pipeline connectivity by June 2026, which could unlock significant CGD demand. The petrochemical project at Dahej remains on track with ₹7,500 cr capex planned for FY27. Key risk: execution and timely tie-up of long-term contracts for the 5 MTPA Dahej expansion and Gopalpur terminal.
