I now hand over the conference to Mr. Yogesh Patil from Dolat Capital. Thank you, and over to
you, sir.
Yogesh Patil: Thank you, Pari, and good day to everyone. It's my pleasure to welcome all the participants on
this call as well as the Petronet LNG senior management for the First Quarter FY27 Results
Conference Call. With us, we have Mr. Saurav Mitra, Director Finance and CFO; Mr. Rakesh
Chawla, Executive Director, Finance and Accounts; Mr. Gyanendra Kumar Sharma, GGM and
President, Marketing; Mr. Vivek Mittal, GGM and President, Marketing; Mr. Debabrata
Satpathy CGM and Vice President, Finance and Accounts; Mr. Vikash Maheswari, General
Manager, Finance & Accounts.
I request Mr. Saurav Mitra to deliver his opening remarks. Over to you, sir.
Saurav Mitra: At the outset, let me briefly take you through our financial and operating performance for the
first quarter of financial year '26 and '27. Overall, I would say it has been a strong start to the
year, while volumes were somewhat lower, we have delivered a healthy financial performance
supported by commercial and operational efficiencies.
On a stand-alone basis, profit before tax stood at INR 1,514 crores compared to INR 1,136 crores
in the corresponding quarter registering a growth of 33%. Profit after tax was INR 1,133 crores,
again a growth of 33% compared to INR 851 crores in the corresponding quarter.
On a consolidated basis too, the performance has been quite encouraging. We reported a PBT of
INR 1,491 crores and PAT of INR 1,137 crores, our highest ever PBT and PAT for any first
quarter. Coming to the operational performance, Dahej, our flagship terminal, processed 192
TBTU of LNG during the quarter compared to 207 TBTU in the corresponding quarter last year
and 201 TBTU in the previous quarter.
At the company level, the overall LNG volume processed was 207 TBTU compared to 220
TBTU in the corresponding quarter and 219 TBTU in the previous quarter. As far as capacity
utilization is concerned, there is an important point to keep in perspective. For the current
quarter, the nameplate capacity of Dahej increased from 17.5 MMTPA to 22.5 MMTPA. So the
utilization numbers now reflect a significantly larger capacity base.
On this expanded capacity, Dahej utilization stood at 66% compared to 92% in the corresponding
quarter and 90% in the previous quarter. Overall company capacity utilization in the current
quarter was 58% compared to 76% in both the corresponding and previous quarters.
So if I were to sum up the quarter, the key takeaways for us is the resilience of the business.
Despite lower volumes, we have achieved 33% year-on-year growth in both standalone PBT and

PAT. This reflects our continued focus on commercial and operational efficiency and our ability
to deliver a strong financial performance across different market conditions. We remain focused
on carrying this momentum forward as we progress through the year.
With that, I will conclude my opening remarks. We'll now be happy to take your questions.
Moderator: Thank you very much. We will now begin with the question-and-answer session. The first
question is from the line of Probal Sen from ICICI Securities. Please proceed with your question.
Probal Sen: Thank you and very good evening, sir. Sir, a couple of questions. Firstly, what you mentioned
about the financial performance being strong despite lower volumes. What has also been
interesting is that the mix of volumes has changed quite dramatically with term volumes
declining very sharply and third-party regas volumes making the difference. Just wanted to
understand, has that same pattern been seen in Q2 so far as well? And should we basically
assume that this will be the mix moving forward at least till the Gulf conflict is resolved in any
shape or manner? That was my first question.
Saurav Mitra: Okay. So yes, the pattern and trend continues as it was in the Q1 of this financial year till so far.
However, we expect the issues at the Gulf to resolve soon and the volumes from our long-term
contract with Qatar should start immediately or as soon as possible. That's our, you know,
topmost in the wish list.
Probal Sen: Got it, sir. The second question was, sir, with respect to apparent margins, you know, in terms
of, you know, how we have performed despite lower volumes. Just wanted to understand where
the margin improvement has come from, whether there is any inventory gain impact for the
quarter and, you know, or is it basically that marketing margins on even the small amount of
spot volumes that we did have actually helped offset the lower volumes? Just your thoughts on
that.
Debabrata Satpathy: Okay. Prabal, you have actually answered both the points. There is trading gains and also there
is inventory gain. Inventory gains are at INR193 crores and trading gains are at INR301 crores.
So that's exactly because of the higher margin and also higher inventory valuation.
Probal Sen: But sir, will some of that then normalize in Q2? Is that a fair way to look at it, that this amount
of this kind of margin trend may not sustain for the rest of the year?
Debabrata Satpathy: You see, to answer to your question, whenever, the trend has been that whenever there is a
disparity between t
