Message from the Executive Director & CEO

Our journey has been defined by resilience – ensuring supply continuity amid disruptions, identifying opportunities in challenges, and advancing with agility and foresight.

- SURESH P. MANGLANI EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR & CEO

We are working hard to expand the contribution of cleaner fuels like natural gas, compressed biogas, and EV in India's energy basket by making them convenient, accessible, and affordable to the end consumers.

Dear Shareholder,

It is a privilege to connect with you again and share our FY 2024-25 progress.

India’s ambition to become the world’s third-largest economy is anchored in infrastructure, digital transformation, and energy security. As one of the country’s leading energy providers, we recognise our humble and critical role in this journey. Our journey has been defined by resilience – ensuring supply continuity amid disruptions, identifying opportunities in challenges, and advancing with agility and foresight. Inspired by the Government of India’s vision of increasing share of natural gas in energy basket from 6% to 15%, the City Gas Distribution (CGD) sector, stands at an inflection point, poised for significant growth in the coming years.

You will be happy to note that in nearly a decade, your Company has grown from having just 4 Geographical Areas (GAs) to 53 GAs and 125 districts (including IOAGPL licenses), thus providing clean and affordable piped natural gas and compressed natural gas to nearly 10% of our country’s population. Furthermore, ATGL ceased opportunities, well ahead of time, and has gainfully diversified into adjacent businesses like Compressed Biogas (CBG), EV Charging Infrastructure, LNG for Transport & Mining (LTM), and has invested in Smart Meter manufacturing, and the Indian Gas Exchange (IGX). In addition to our ever-expanding CGD business, we have constructed over 3,400 EV Charging Points and are successfully operating first phase of one of India’s largest CBG plant in Barsana with many more under various stages of construction. We also commissioned our first LTM (LNG for Transport & Mining) retail outlet and are building many more to provide cleaner alternative fuel to country’s heavy and long-haul transportation segment. Our one of its kind - digital platform “SOUL” enables us to leverage technology to consistently deliver customer delight, as well as scale up our operations rapidly while maintaining highest standards of service quality, operational excellence, minimisation of Loss & Unaccounted Gas (LUAG) and with complete reliability and availability of our installations to the customers.

53 GAs and

125 Districts

(including IOAGPL JV)

In my previous communication, our objective to remain consistently agile has been duly reiterated, which ATGL remains committed to. As we continually strive for improvement, our transformation is guided by these key focus areas:

  • Expanding Infrastructure and Reach: Continue to grow our core CGD business to enhance access to cleaner, reliable, and affordable natural gas
  • Diversification and Innovation: Gainfully diversifying and strengthening new businesses, including EV charging, Compressed Biogas (CBG), and LNG for Transport and Mining
  • Customer Delight: Consistent focus on ensuring delight for our customers through various initiatives
  • Digitalisation and Automation: Leveraging technology for data-driven decision-making, automation and enhancing stakeholder experience
  • People and Sustainability: Investing in our people and sustainable initiatives to fuel growth, enhance capabilities and competencies to support India’s energy transition

Our Performance Driven by Resilience

The past year witnessed a significant reduction in APM gas allocation to the CNG segment impacting the selling price of CNG to consumers. The situation was further aggravated by geopolitical events (which made gas prices volatile) and a weakening Rupee which eroded margins across the industry. Despite these headwinds, your Company remained resilient, successfully navigating the challenges through strategic gas sourcing and industry leading operational efficiency and outperforming market expectations, particularly in the last two quarters.

993 MMSCM

Natural gas volume sold in FY 2024-25

14.8% Y-o-Y

USD 375 million

External Commercial Borrowing (ECB) programme

We continued to adapt, optimise, and grow in FY 2024-25. Our overall volume grew by 15% to 993 MMSCM, supported by network expansions and a strategic albeit calibrated pricing approach, amid increasing competition from alternative fuels. Revenue stood at ₹5,432 crore, while EBITDA rose 1% to ₹1,167 crore, reflecting prudent gas portfolio management and cost efficiencies. Our Profit After Tax (PAT) reached to ₹648 crore.

A significant milestone this year was entering into a USD 375 million programme in long-term External Commercial Borrowing (ECB) with an initial commitment of USD 315 million , making us the first entity in the city gas sector to do so. This demonstrates the faith reposed in us by global lenders and has strengthened our financial position enabling us to accelerate network expansion, ensuring faster access to PNG and CNG while advancing our promise to a cleaner, more connected energy future.

With a Net Debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.06, we continue to maintain a strong financial foundation. As of March 31, 2025, our Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) and Return on Equity (ROE) stood at 16.03% and 16.73%, underlining the strength of our diversified business model, infrastructure investments, and digitalisation efforts.

Our efforts towards emission reduction, green building, and waste-to-energy projects continue to gain industry recognition, reflecting our long-term commitment to responsible growth.

While challenges remain, the CGD sector is on the cusp of transformation and we are well-positioned to drive long-term value for all stakeholders, with a sharp focus on operational excellence and sustainable growth.

Expanding Our Reach and Infrastructure with Resilience

Our commitment to expand access to clean energy continues to drive our growth. This year, we extended our CGD footprint to Jalandhar, increasing coverage from 33 to 34 Geographical Areas (GAs), focussing on scale and service excellence. With introduction of carbon market standards, the MSME and transportation segments present a demand growth many times over the current natural gas consumption in the CGD sector. Our vision is to build a gas infrastructure ready to cater to this growth in demand.

9.63 lakhs

PNG households across the country

647

CNG stations across the country

Despite continued challenges in getting on-time permissions, we continue to lay over 2.5 km of pipeline per day (MDPE + Steel). As of March 31, 2025, we have laid 13,772 inch-km of steel pipeline, adding 1,750 inch-km in FY 2024-25. Our CNG station network has grown to 647 stations, with 100 new additions, of which 123 operate under the CODO or DODO model. We now serve over 9,299 industrial and commercial consumers and a 9.63 lakh+ households with piped natural gas connections.

Including our JV with Fortune 500 company Indian Oil Corporation Limited, namely Indian Oil-Adani Gas Private Limited (IOAGPL), we now serve 125 districts nationwide, where we are responsible to provide access to PNG and CNG to large masses of customers in these districts. This partnership strengthens our ability to optimise resources, share best practices, and enhance operational efficiencies.

New Energy Opportunities Taking Shape

While the CGD business remains our core strength, we are also gainfully diversifying into emerging energy solutions. These are no longer just opportunities, but integral components of our long-term business strategy. We are strengthening our presence in Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (EVCI), Compressed Biogas (CBG), and taking initial steps for LNG for Transport & Mining (LTM) segments to support sustainable mobility and industrial energy needs. Our biomass and new fertiliser brand, ‘Harit Amrit’, is advancing circular economy principles, transforming agri-waste into clean energy, while our hydrogen blending initiatives align with National Green Hydrogen mission, positioning us at the forefront of India’s clean energy revolution.

3,401

EV Charging Points installed across 26 States/UTs

Our efforts towards emission reduction, green building, and waste-to-energy projects continue to gain industry recognition, reflecting our long-term commitment to responsible growth. As we move forward, we remain focussed on balancing economic progress with environmental responsibility, ensuring a cleaner and more sustainable energy future

  • EV Charging: With the EV landscape in India evolving rapidly, our EV charging network now spans across 226 cities and 26 states & UTs, serving both public and fleet operators. With an expanded presence across 21 airports, we are the largest charge point operators in the airports. We remain steadfast on our target of 75,000 charging points across the country by the end of this decade
  • Compressed Biogas: Last year, we commissioned Phase 1 of India’s largest CBG plant in Barsana, Mathura, with a planned capacity of 600 TPD. We have been successfully operating this plant utilising agri and pressmud waste as feedstock and producing compressed biogas and organic manure, thus promoting the circular economy. We have also launched our Organic Manure brand, Harit Amrit, with a mission to promote sustainable farming across the country. We are further expanding our footprint as we develop Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) to CBG plants in our concessions in Ahmedabad and Rajkot, and we continue to evaluate more opportunities to set up CBG plants to meet our strategic vision in this segment.
  • LNG for Transport & Mining (LTM): I believe LNG is going to play a critical role in decarbonising our country’s road transport segment within next decade, and ATGL intends to play a leading role in this transition. With this objective, we completed construction of 1 LNG retail outlet last year, with 2 more under various stages of construction, which will dispense cleaner fuel to heavy duty and long haul vehicles
