Business model

IGL supplies CNG (about74%FY26 volume), domestic PNG and commercial/industrial PNG plus bulk gas to neighbouring CGDs. It owns the physical network and stations but not the gas supply; allocations and delivered RLNG cost set its spread. The listed company carries the CGD operations; Genesis meter manufacturing is a small loss-making subsidiary. Consolidated profit includes 50% stakes in MNGL and CUGL, not their revenues. GAIL and BPCL own22.5%each; Delhi government5%.
