Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
Indraprastha Gas Ltd trades at a market cap of ₹21,259 Cr with a PE of 15.9x and dividend yield of 2.12%. The company is nearly debt-free but faces a declining earnings trajectory with TTM profit growth at -18% and a 1-year stock CAGR of -28%, while ROE has compressed from a 5-year average of 18% to 13% in the last year.
- Nearly debt-free balance sheet provides financial resilience and flexibility for capex expansion without leverage risk
- PE of 15.9x is modest relative to the 10-year compounded profit growth of 12%, suggesting earnings are not priced at a premium
- Healthy dividend payout ratio of 43.9% with a current yield of 2.12% offers tangible cash return to shareholders
- 10-year compounded sales growth of 16% demonstrates a long track record of sustained revenue expansion in the city gas distribution space
- 5-year compounded sales growth of 27% reflects strong volume ramp-up across CNG and PNG segments in the medium term
- Price-to-book of 1.87x is reasonable for an asset-heavy utility with historically high teens ROE (5-year average 18%)
- TTM sales growth of 10% indicates the top line continues to expand even as profitability faces near-term headwinds
- 10-year stock CAGR of 7% shows the company has still generated positive long-term shareholder returns despite the recent drawdown
- TTM compounded profit growth is -18%, signalling a sharp earnings contraction in the most recent period
- Stock price has declined 28% over 1 year and shows a -13% CAGR over 3 years, reflecting sustained negative price momentum
- ROE has fallen from a 10-year average of 19% to just 13% in the last year, indicating deteriorating return on capital
- Other income of ₹669 Cr is embedded in earnings, meaning core operating profit may be materially lower than headline numbers suggest
- 3-year compounded profit growth is -3%, showing earnings erosion is not just a one-quarter phenomenon but a multi-year trend
- 5-year compounded profit growth of only 5% lags the 5-year sales CAGR of 27%, pointing to significant margin compression over the period
- 5-year stock CAGR of -11% indicates the market has been de-rating the stock over a meaningful time horizon
- The wide gap between sales growth (10% TTM) and profit decline (-18% TTM) suggests input cost pressures or pricing constraints are squeezing margins

AI News Digest
- EBITDA margin at multi-year low Aug 28
EBITDA margin fell to ₹3.4/scm in Q1 FY27, down from 10% to 6.4% sequentially. Standalone net profit declined 48% YoY to ₹186.18 crore despite 16% revenue growth.
- Elevated LNG costs squeezing margins Aug 29
RLNG now comprises 42% of IGL's gas procurement, up from 25%, with spot LNG at $10-11/mmBtu. FY27 Q1 expenses grew 14.73% YoY while revenue rose only 9.62%, and the West Asia conflict and Strait of Hormuz disruptions continue to pressure input costs.
- CNG price hike only partial offset Aug 28
The ₹3.89/kg hike is expected to lift blended realisations by only ₹1.2-1.8/scm per analysts, leaving EBITDA at ₹4.5-5/scm in Q2 FY27 — still ~₹2/scm below the company's ₹7/scm annual target.
- Further price hikes may be needed Aug 28
ICICI Securities' Probal Sen indicated IGL may need additional CNG price increases if LNG prices stay elevated and domestic gas supplies remain constrained, risking demand elasticity at higher price points.
- CNG hike triggers 3% stock rally Aug 28
IGL shares jumped ~3% to ₹152.39 after the ₹3.89/kg CNG price hike. Citi maintained a 'buy' rating with ₹180 target, implying 22% upside, calling the move 'well-calibrated.'
- Regulatory tailwinds support margins Aug 29
PNGRB unified tariff rationalization (effective Jan 1, 2026) reclassified IGL from Zone 2/3 to Zone 1, saving ₹0.70-1.30/scm. Gujarat VAT reduction on domestic gas from 15% to 2% adds ~₹1/scm benefit.
- CNG demand remains resilient Aug 29
Underlying CNG volume growth is ~10% YoY excluding DTC/DIMTS EV transitions. CNG volumes rose 6% and domestic PNG 7% in Q1 FY27, with CNG still 35-40% cheaper than petrol at ₹102.12/litre.
- GST cut boosting CNG adoption Aug 29
GST on CNG vehicles was reduced from 28% to 18%, lifting monthly new CNG vehicle additions from 21,000 to 26,000, with October alone seeing 31,000 new additions.
- New MD approved with strong backing Aug 21
Shareholders approved Kumar Shanker as Managing Director with 98.8% promoter support and 97.35% institutional backing via postal ballot.
- 27th AGM set for Sep 24 Sep 2
IGL scheduled its 27th AGM for September 24, 2026, with the agenda including adoption of FY26 financials and a final dividend of ₹1.5 per share.
- Q1 FY27 earnings call transcript Aug 19
IGL released the transcript of its August 14, 2026 earnings call, where management discussed volume growth trends and margin pressures alongside the 48% YoY net profit decline.
TL;DR: IGL is navigating a tough cost environment with EBITDA margins at multi-year lows of ₹3.4/scm, driven by elevated LNG prices comprising 42% of procurement. The positive is that demand remains resilient at ~10% underlying growth, the ₹3.89/kg CNG price hike has analyst support with Citi seeing 22% upside, and regulatory tailwinds worth ₹1.7-2.3/scm are materializing. The trend is cautiously improving — margins should recover toward ₹4.5-5/scm in Q2 FY27 with management targeting ₹7-8/scm by FY28 Q1, but further recovery hinges on LNG price moderation or additional price hikes.
