GSPL reported natural gas transmission volume growth of 6.6% YoY and down 1% QoQ to 39.4 mmscmd. City gas distribution sector was the largest contributor to volume growth YoY. On a QoQ basis, volume offtake mix for CGD sector increased to 32% vs. 27%. Refinery/petchem sector's offtake declined to 18% from 25% while power sector's offtake was steady at 23%. We build in lower volumes in the current quarter as the sharp surge in spot LNG prices in January is likely to affect transmission volumes mainly in industrial/commercial segment.

Gujarat State Petronet (GUJS)'s 3Q volumes were driven by higher demand from the CGD segment and revival in demand from the Fertilizer segment, further supported by strong gas consumption in the Power sector. Gas volumes for the Refining/Petchem segment declined due to decreased offtake by RIL. On account of the huge demand-supply mismatch across the globe (due to production challenges, along with higher winter demand), spot LNG prices jumped in 4QFY21'TD. As per our channel checks, this has resulted in lower gas offtake to ~45mmscmd (from ~10mmscmd in 3QFY21) by the Power sector, in addition to...

Gujarat State Petronet's (GSPL) Q3FY21 result was in-line with our estimates.

Average realizations came at Rs 1.58/scm, +1.8% QoQ and was in-line with our estimates. EBITDA/scm was up 6% higher QoQ led by lower other expenses. We largely keep our estimates unchanged. Higher domestic volume, strong recovery from industrial PNG demand would accrue more value to GSPL. At current valuation of Gujarat Gas, GSPL's 54.17%...
