India’s natural gas pipeline sector is experiencing significant growth, with the operational network expanding from 15,340 km in 2014 to nearly 25,000 km by early 2025. By 2030, natural gas demand is projected to rise by 60%, reaching approximately 103 billion cubic meters annually, driven by infrastructure development and policy support.
The shares of gas and Petroleum stocks have seen significant movement after the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board’s (PNGRB) proposed amendments to gas transmission tariff determination regulations are currently open for public consultation. An open house discussion is set to take place in mid-April 2025.
As per Morgan Stanley regulatory changes in long-haul gas players will allow transporters and upstream producers to gain but returns for city gas players, the outlook also highlights that gas pipeline transmission companies shall benefit from four proposed tariff changes. Although end consumers could face higher costs due to higher costs from pipeline tariffs, consumers over distances would still see lower costs.
Here are the stocks after PNGRB proposed amendments to gas transmission tariff determination regulations:
