GGL has been listed on stock exchange on September 15, 2015.

 

The company has strong and established market position in the CGD industry in India is marked by its industry-leading presence in 19 districts across Gujarat, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Maharashtra.

 

The company has a user base of over 1 million domestic households, 2750 industrial units, over 11,000 commercial customers, and 230 CNG stations, as on May 31, 2015, providing strong revenue diversity.

 

Rating takes into consideration company’s sizeable scale of operations as the largest city gas distribution (CGD) entity in India supported by its diversified customer profile along with above-average financial profile, strong cash accrual and moderate debt protection metrics.

 

Rating also takes into account of credit enhancement in the form of unconditional and irrevocable corporate guarantee issued by Gujarat State Petronet Limited.

 

Rating strengths is partially offset by susceptibility to volatility in re-gasified liquefied natural gas (R-LNG) prices, large capital expenditure (capex) plans for the medium term and exposure to risks relating to unfavorable regulatory changes.

 

Trade relations are reported as fair. Payments are reported to be regular and as per commitment.

 

In view of aforesaid, the company can be considered good for normal business dealings at usual trade terms and conditions.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

Natural Gas is been used as a fuel since more than a century, but the emergence of Natural Gas as a preferred, clean and safe energy solution has been prevalent only in the last couple of decades. This year Gujarat Gas Limited (GGL or the Company) faced major challenges due to the increasing volatility in the global crude oil prices. The crude oil price (Indian Basket)1 has fallen by around 50% since the beginning of the year, when it was around $100+ a barrel. This comes after nearly five years of stability. The oil price is partly determined by actual supply and demand, and partly by expectation.

 

Even though this global volatility of crude created competition for Natural Gas from polluting fuels, however Natural Gas continues to emerge preferred fuel and remain a vital energy source amongst various available resources in world's energy consumption and by most of the Company's environment conscious customers. It is one of the cleanest conventional fuels with very low level of greenhouse gas emissions in comparison to other conventional sources. Natural gas is traditionally consumed in the residential, commercial sectors, mostly for heating in the transport sector and in the industrial sector - sometimes industrials such as fertilizer producers use Natural Gas as raw material, and in the power sector.

 

 

The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) which governs and regulates the downstream gas industry is actively contributing in the growth of City or Local Natural Gas Distribution (CGD) sector by awarding licenses to lay, build, operate and expand CGD business in new geographies including Bhavnagar, Jamnagar, Kutch (East and West) for the round - 3 of CGD bidding and nine new geographies in the round - 4 of CGD bidding including Amritsar, Bengaluru Rural and Urban Districts, UT of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, UT of Daman, Ernakulam, Panipat, Raigarh, Thane and Pune. Continuing its endeavor for developing more CGDs to foster growth and development of the sector, the PNGRB has been inviting competitive bids for developing gas infrastructure including development of new cross country pipelines and CGD networks in the country. With the expected spurt in the expansion of Natural Gas infrastructure in coming years including additional Regasification terminals being erected and commissioned, nationwide cross country pipeline grid being laid and new CGD licenses being issued the reliance of Natural Gas as a primary source of energy in the overall energy basket is envisaged to increase drastically by the end of the current decade and thereafter.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

The demand for Natural Gas is expected to increase going forward to satiate the ever increasing energy needs in the country. Natural Gas having the merits of being a preferred fuel over the conventional polluting fuel due to its efficiencies and economies coupled with the advantage of the boost from the policy directive is expected to impact the demand of the sector positively. The emphasis on infrastructure development through aggressive roll out by the Regulatory body gives further impetus for the growth of the sector. The global volatility in crude prices is expected to settle down sooner than later to further add to the demand in near future. The Company would continue its focused efforts on growth of volume across its segments of residential, commercial, transport and more specifically in industrial segment through expanding further in the existing areas of operations as well as in the green field opportunities secured through competitive bidding.
