IGL Q1 Profit Falls Nearly Half as Higher LNG Costs Impact Margins, Revenue Rises
Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) reported a significant decline in Q1 FY27 profits, with standalone net profit falling between 44-48% year-on-year due to higher liquefied natural gas (LNG) costs amid global price volatility linked to the West Asia crisis. Despite this, the company achieved record quarterly revenue growth of around 16-17%, driven by a 6% increase in gas sales volumes, including compressed natural gas (CNG) and piped natural gas (PNG). Operating margins and EBITDA also declined due to elevated input costs.
