The consolidated PAT was Rs 172 crore which increased by 14 per cent YoY.

Suresh P Manglani, ED and CEO of Adani Total Gas, said that in the quarter, the company received approval from the regulator for the transfer of a letter of authorisation for the Jalandhar Geographical Area (GA) which provides a high-volume growth opportunity to the company.

“We have also crossed a significant milestone of 1,000+ EV charging points, reaching 1,212 EV charging points across multiple locations,” Manglani informed.

The company informed that it has EV charging presence in 15 states and more than 740 EV charging points are under various stages of construction with EV fleet companies, government authorities, tourism departments and municipal corporations, etc.

“With newer sustainable energy in the form of e-mobility, LNG and biomass, we remain fully committed to providing a sustainable energy platform to our consumers and playing a leading role in the country’s energy transition journey,” said the Adani Total Gas CEO.

The company is playing a significant role in the nation’s efforts to enhance the share of natural gas in its energy mix.
