State-owned gas major GAIL (India) Ltd on Friday reported an 18% year-on-year decline in standalone net profit to ₹2,823.19 crore for the September 2025 quarter, as weaker petrochemical margins offset steady performance in its gas transmission and marketing businesses. The company had reported a profit of ₹3,453.12 crore in the same quarter last year, according to its stock exchange filing.
While revenue from operations increased 6% YoY to ₹35,031 crore from ₹32,930.72 crore in the July–September 2024 period, profitability was hit by a pre-tax loss of nearly ₹300 crore in the petrochemical segment due to margin pressures.
For the first half of FY26 (April–September 2025), GAIL’s net profit declined 24% YoY to ₹4,103.56 crore.
According to the company, natural gas sales — used in power generation, fertiliser production, CNG for vehicles, and household cooking — averaged 105.47 million standard cubic meters per day (mmscmd) in the first half of FY26, up from 98.02 mmscmd in the same period last year.
However, gas transportation volumes through its pipeline network dropped to 122 mmscmd, compared with 127 mmscmd a year earlier.
In the petrochemicals segment, GAIL sold 386,000 tonnes during the April–September period, significantly lower than 845,000 tonnes in FY25.
