I now hand the conference over to Mr. Probal Sen from ICICI Securities Limited. Thank you,
and over to you, sir.
Probal Sen: Thank you, Anam. Thank you to everyone who has made time to attend this post second quarter
of FY27 earnings call of Petronet LNG Limited. We have with us members of the senior
management of the company, including Mr. Saurav Mitra, the Director of Finance as well as the
CFO, Mr. Rakesh Chawla, ED (F&A), Mr. Mukesh Gupta, GGM and President (F&A), Mr.
Vivek Mittal, GGM and President (Marketing), Mr. Debabrata Satpathy, CGM and VP (F&A),
and Mr. Vikash Maheswari, GM (F&A). Start off with opening remarks from the management,
post which we will have an interactive Q&A session.
Over to you, Saurav, sir.
Saurav Mitra: Good afternoon, Probal. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. A warm welcome to the earnings
call for Q2 FY26-'27. I'm happy to share that the company has delivered an excellent set of
results for the second quarter and the first half of the Financial Year. This has been our best ever
second quarter as well as our best ever half year in terms of both PBT and PAT.
Let me briefly take you through the key numbers. Starting with operations, we processed 231
TBTU of LNG during the quarter compared to 207 TBTU in the previous quarter and 228 TBTU
in the corresponding quarter last year. This represents a growth of 12% over the previous quarter
and 1% over the corresponding quarter. At Dahej, throughput stood at 216 TBTU as against 192
TBTU in the previous quarter and 211 TBTU in the corresponding quarter last year.
I would like to clarify that the utilization percentages for the current and previous quarters are
based on Dahej's expanded capacity of 22.5 million ton per annum compared to 17.5 million
metric ton per annum last year. So while the reported utilization is lower year-on-year, the actual
volumes processed have increased.
Coming to capacity utilization, Dahej operated at 73% compared with 66% in the previous
quarter and 92% in the corresponding quarter. Overall utilization stood at 64% as against 58%
and 78%, respectively.
The financial performance has been particularly encouraging. PLL achieved a PBT of INR1,659
crores compared with INR1,514 crores in the previous quarter and INR1,083 crores in the
corresponding quarter last year. This represents a growth of about 10% sequentially and 53%
year-on-year. Similarly, PAT stood at INR1,235 crores compared with INR1,133 crores in the
previous quarter and INR806 crores in the corresponding quarter last year, registering a growth

of 9% sequentially and 53% year-on-year. For the first half, PBT stood at INR3,174 crores and
PAT at INR2,368 crores, both registering a growth of 43% over the corresponding period last
year. I wholeheartedly thank the investors and analysts for reposing their trust on PLL through
the years.
With this, we open the floor for questions-and-answer session. Thank you.
Moderator: Thank you very much sir. We will now begin the question and answer session. The first question
is from the line of Mayank Maheshwari from Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead.
Mayank Maheshwari: Hi, sir. Thank you for a call and good set of volume numbers. I had 2 questions. One, in terms
of a big picture view around how you're thinking about India's gas consumption and elasticity to
gas prices? And second was more on the petchem project. If you can just elaborate on the
progress for that project as well as what are your capex numbers, etcetera, that you spent and the
outlook for the second half?
Saurav Mitra: Okay. So I would like to take the first question -- second question first, Mayank, and thank you
for joining the call. So total capex during the first half of the year stood at INR1,626 crores.
However, we expect an uptick in the capex during the second half because we have been able to
place all the major orders and the project progress is on schedule.
So although on ground - although financially, the progress appears to be a little less, but if you
see the on-ground physical progress, it is as per the schedule. Secondly, coming to your first
question, Vivek, if you can please.
Vivek Mittal: So in terms of gas demand in India, we have seen an uptick in gas demand despite the fact that
Qatar volumes are not coming in. In fact, we have done certain analysis. So last year, 2025
calendar year, India imported 25.3 million tons of LNG. In the first 9 months of this calendar
year, which is 2026, India imported 20.15 million tons. So if we do a flow rate of 25 million
tons, it works out to around 19 million tons.
So vis-a-vis 19 million tons, India imported 20 million tons in the current calendar year. In terms
of sources, we have seen US Oman, Nigeria, Angola, Trinidad and Australia going up. Of course,
Qatar and UAE has come down. So this entire demand decline from Qatar and UAE has been
compensated by these sources.
And this is despite the fact that the prices are in the range of $20 to $25 from March till
September. So we believe that Indian demand is resilient. In terms of sectoral, I think fertilizer
is a major sector because Qatar volumes used to go into ferti
