Petronet LNG reported record second-quarter profit before tax and profit after tax for FY2027 despite Qatar LNG supply disruptions linked to the Strait of Hormuz crisis. Q2 net profit rose 53% year on year to ₹1,235 cr from ₹806 cr, while profit before tax increased 53% to ₹1,659 cr from ₹1,083 cr. LNG throughput rose 12% quarter on quarter, supporting the earnings outcome. ⚡
Q2 net profit ₹1,235 cr was accompanied by a 43% increase in first-half profit after tax to ₹2,368 cr from ₹1,656 cr. First-half profit before tax rose to ₹3,174 cr from ₹2,219 cr. The company attributed the improvement to commercial and operational efficiency, showing that operating execution supported earnings even as supply constraints and elevated LNG prices affected the market.
The company’s FY2027 CapEx ₹9,000 cr adds a project-execution focus to the earnings update. Funding needs, implementation timelines, LNG availability and throughput will influence the energy and gas infrastructure segment’s earnings trajectory. Resilient demand, as highlighted in the TradingView report based on the Q2 audio transcript, remains central to the outlook. ⛽
