Finance:

 

The Company continued to have a healthy cash flow. The net worth of the Company as on March 31, 2010 is Rs.7851 millions. During the year, the outstanding amount of External Commercial Borrowings was repaid. Hence, the Company does not have any secured loans as on March 31, 2010. The Company has not accepted any fixed deposits from the public.

 

For the year 2009-10, long term rating of the Company has been retained at LAAA by ICRA. This is a result of the financial soundness of the Company.

 

Low debt equity ratio will enable the Company to raise debt finance for ambitious expansion plans to realize the valuable potential of new areas around Mumbai for which the PNGRB has granted authorization to the Company.

 

 

 

 

Management Discussion and Analysis:

 

Operations and Business performance:

 

Mumbai is a densely populated and congested city. Building infrastructure in the city has always been a challenge for the Company. Further more, as compared to other utilities whose infrastructure is mostly already laid in the limited colfldors available, City Gas Distribution has the last move in” disadvantage in Mumbai. This involves laying extensive new infrastructure in narrow corridors already overcrowded by other utilities.

 

The Company has successfully continued scaling up of the infrastructure during the year  in Mumbai, Thane and Mira-Bhayander and has successfully commissioned its trunk pipeline supplying gas to Navi Mumbai. The Company is setting up distribution infrastructure in Navi Mumbai and other contiguous industrial areas of Taloja, Ambernath, Badlapur and Ulhasnagar in its authorized geographical areas. Growth has been maintained despite encountering complexities due to development of other infrastructure by various authorities like construction of flyovers, metro and monorail, subways, and other problems like edge to edge concretization of roads, expansion and re-development of roads with availability of limited corridor, limited construction season of only six months for building the infrastructure due to monsoons and delay in statutory permissions from local authorities to build City Gas Distribution infrastructure.

 

Continuous additions to the number of domestic connections and vehicles converted to CNG have ensured that the Company retains its position as the largest City Gas Distribution Company in India in terms of consumer base.

 

The average gas sates volume of the Company during the financial year 2009-10 has increased to 16,57,635 SCM per day representing a growth of around 11% over the previous year. The highest daily volume throughout has reached a peak of 19,83,392 SCM per day during the year.

 

During the year 2009-10, the Company made substantial investments in network expansion and upgrading CNG infrastructure. The projects undertaken during the year have progressed well.

 

During the year, apart from domestic connections, the Company has also made progress in increasing gas supply to Commercial and Industrial consumers.

 

CNG business continued to grow at a rapid pace during the year . Mahanagar Gas added 8 CNG stations taking the total number of stations to 144. An additional 10,134 vehicles were converted on CNG during the year taking the total number of converted CNG vehicles to over 2,00,000. The peak daily sale of CNG exceeded 10,35,207 Kgs per day during the year, registering a growth of more than 22% over the peak daily demand in the previous year. The growth in demand for CNG is expected to continue and the Company is preparing to seize this opportunity by significantly investing further in the CNG infrastructure in the city of Mumbai and expansion areas during 2010-11.

 

Some of the major milestones achieved during the year were:

 

(I) The Company on June 05, 2009 signed a Gas Sales and Transportation Contract (GSTC) for APM gas supplies for a maximum Daily Contract Quantity (DCQ) of 2.0 MMSCMD valid upto March 31,2021.

(ii) The PNGRB on August 04, 2009 formally granted marketing exclusivity for 5 years to the Company for Geographical Area -2 (GA-2) comprising of Mira Bhayender, Navi Mumbai, Thane City, Ambernath, Bhiwandi, Kalyan, Dombivili, Badlapur, Ulhasnagar, Panvel, Kharghar and Taloja.

(iii) The Company on September 18, 2009 signed a Gas Sales and Purchase Agreement (GSPA) with the consortium of RIL-NECO for sourcing 0.37 MMSCMD of gas for the domestic PNG and CNG segments, valid upto March 31,2014.

(b) Commencement of drawl of Non APM Gas and commissioning of MGI’s 2nd City Gate Station (CGS) at Mahape, Navi Mumbai:

 

On October 07, 2009, the Company started gas drawlftom the KG-D6 NELP block of MIs. RIL and NIKO. Further, the gas supply from the C-series fields is likely to be available in MGL’s system shortly.

While MGL’s existing City Gate Station at Wadala, Mumbai, gets gas from ONGC’s Mumbai High gas fields, MGL’s second City Gate Station, constructed at Mahape in Navi Mumbai is undergoing trial runs and is expected to be commissioned shortly. The commissioning of this CGS will enable MGL to directly source gas from all the remaining major sources of gas in the country viz, the LNG terminals at Dahej, Hazira and Dabhol as well as the prolific NELP gas fields oft the east coast of India.

 

Further to ensure greater geographical spread, security of supply and flexibility of operations during the year 201 0-11, the Company is planning to set up two more City Gate Stations atTaloja and Ambernath in MGL’s GA-2.

 

Development in Gas Pricing:

 

Government of India with effect from June 08, 2010 increased APM gas price for CGD entities from Rs.3840/1 000 SCM at 10,000 Kca)/SCM (US$ 2.06/MMBTU at Rs.47/US$) to US$ 4.20/MMBTU (NCV basis) which is inclusive of 10% royalty (US$ 3.8227/MMBTU excluding 10% royalty) but exclusive of a marketing margin of Rs.200/1 000 SCM.

 

In view of this substantial increase in APM gas price and increase in MGL’s weighted average gas purchase cost due to incremental volumes continuously being sourced at market price to cater to the ever increasing demand in the priority segments of domestic PNG and CNG, in June 2010, the Company has increased its selling prices of CNG, Domestic PNG from Rs.24.65 per KG and Rs.13.60 per SCM to Rs.31.47 per KG and Rs.17.74 per SCM respectively by effectively passing through the increased gas cost. The selling prices were increased with effect from June 17, 2010 without the occurrence of any untoward incidents.

 

Opportunities and Challenges:

 

The recognition of MGL’s Central Government authorization by PNGRB and its grant of exclusivity for MGL’s existing and expansion areas combined with the availability of additional gas from New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP) blocks and gas from other domestic and imported sources provide a tremendous scope of growth for MGL.

 

Major challenges before the Company are to roil out the City Gas Distribution infrastructure in a time bound manner and meet all regulatory targets and obligations in the face of limited resources available in the market in terms of skilled manpower, materials, contractors etc in view of exponential growth in City Gas Distribution business all over India and also to source long term gas at competitive rates and terms.

 

To address these challenges, MGL is focusing on refining its robust processes, strengthening manpower, developing more and more vendors and contractors and strengthening its gas sourcing and regulatory functions with the support of its promoters GAlL and  BG.

 

Future Outlook:

 

In the next 5 years, MGL’s sales volumes are expected to be more than double. The Company has ambitious expansion plans which inter alia include commissioning of 2 more city gate stations at Ambernath and Taloja in addition to the City Gate Station at Mahape which is likely to be commissioned shortly.

 

In the next five years, the Company has plans to increase its customers’ base to over 8 lakh households covering a population of over 50 lakhs, operate over 220 CNG stations, expand the steel pipeline network to around 450 KM and PE pipeline network over 3600 KM (including 1500 KM MP Network). As regards investment for expanding its CGD infrastructure, the Company has plans for additional investment of Rs. 1500 Crores in the next five years.

 

Further through bidding route, the Company is targeting development of City Gas Distribution infrastructure in the areas of Nasik, Aurangabad, Ahmednagar, Solapur, Nagpur, Tarapur and Kolhapur in the State of Maharashtra.
