Analysis: Gujarat Gas Limited

NSE:GUJGASLTD Gas Distribution Market cap: ₹22.5K cr

Growth thesis

Gujarat Gas operates India’s largest gas distribution network, serving 24 lakh households, 4,454 industrial customers, and 833 CNG stations across six states. Post-merger with Gujarat Energy (effective May 2026), it now integrates CGD, gas trading (1.36 MTPA LNG SPAs with Qatar Energy/Uniper), E&P (6.71 mmb oe reserves), and wind power (1,000 MW capacity). Growth hinges on CNG infrastructure expansion (70+ FDODO stations under development, 1,000+ target by 2028), non-Morbi industrial pipeline builds (Ahmedabad rural, Dahej, Thane), and LNG cost advantages from 2026-27. EBITDA margins stabilized at ₹6.5/SCM in Q3 FY26 (vs ₹5.5-6.5 guidance) via cost pass-through, but Morbi industrial volumes remain volatile at 1.7 MMSCMD (vs 8.8 MMSCMD guidance by Q4 FY26). Key execution risk: delayed propane market-share capture (25% of Morbi’s 1.2-1.3 MMSCMD) and unmet steel pipeline expansions for non-Morbi industrial growth.

Why is Gujarat Gas Limited stock rising?

  • Merger into Gujarat Energy effective from 1 May 2026, positioning as integrated energy company with four business segments: CGD, gas trading, E&P, and wind power
  • Two new long-term LNG SPAs signed aggregating 1.36 MTPA with Qatar Energy and Uniper Global Commodities, one already started and the other starting in 2028
  • Pursuing additional competitively priced long-term LNG volumes to further diversify sourcing portfolio
  • CNG infrastructure expansion target: crossing 1,000 CNG stations in the next 2 to 3 years via FDODO and other models
  • CNG growth target of at least 13% driven by FDODO station commissioning, rising CNG vehicle sales, and 45% cost advantage over petrol
