New Delhi, Adani Total Gas Ltd, the city gas joint venture between Adani Group and TotalEnergies of France, on Tuesday reported a 9 per cent fall in its September quarter net profit on a rise in input gas prices.
Net profit stood at ₹162 crore in July-September – the second quarter of 2025-26 fiscal – compared with ₹178 crore earnings in the same period last year, according to a company statement.
The cost of gas, which the firm turns into CNG for sale as fuel to automobiles and pipes to household kitchens for cooking, rose 26 per cent in the quarter as the company had to make up for lower allocation of below-market priced APM gas with high-priced alternative.
A fall in production of gas from legacy fields, called the APM gas, of state-owned ONGC, led to city gas retailers like ATGL looking at expensive alternative fuel such as those coming from higher-priced, difficult fields and imported LNG.
“To ensure volume growth, ATGL took a calibrated approach in passing on the higher price to consumers,” it said, indicating not all of the input price increase has been passed on to consumers.
Revenue from operations rose 19 per cent to ₹1,569 crore.
The company sold 18 per cent more CNG at 191 million standard cubic meters and 11 per cent more piped natural gas at 89 mmscm during the quarter.
“Team ATGL has yet again delivered an impressive set of numbers with volume growth of 16 per cent, revenue growth of 20 per cent on YoY basis, and EBIDTA at ₹603 crore despite combined APM and new well gas supplies moderating down to 59 per cent in first half of FY26 from 70 per cent H1FY25 and US dollar further appreciating by 4 per cent against Indian rupee resulting to an increase in the gas cost,” said Suresh P Manglani, CEO, ATGL.
Piped cooking gas connections crossed the 1 million mark, and the number of CNG stations reached 662.
“Our continued focus on digitalisation across project management, operational excellence and value optimisation has helped us in delivering better physical and financial outcomes,” he said. “While we closely monitor the evolving situation around APM gas allocation for the CNG segment, our diversified gas sourcing portfolio enables us to adopt a calibrated pricing approach, ensuring that consumer interests remain at the forefront.
ATGL hold the city gas license for 34 Geographical Areas. It has a license for another 19 GAs in a joint venture with Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) called Indian Oil-Adani Gas Private Limited (IOAGPL).>
