Mahanagar Gas - Strong CNG Registrations Bode Well For Volume Growth: HDFC Securities

HDFC Securities Institutional Equities

The Mahanagar Gas Ltd. stock price has rallied ~31% and outperformed the Sensex by ~22% in the last three months. We expect strong volume growth to continue to drive stock price outperformance.

We anticipate that the robust CNG vehicle registration data; accelerated addition of retail outlets; customer additions in the industrial segment; volume growth contribution from the acquired three grographical areas of Unison Enviro Ltd.; and competitive CNG price vs petrol/diesel should support strong volume growth of 11% CAGR over FY24-26E.

At the current price, Mahanagar Gas is trading at 14.8 times Mar-26E EPS, at a 21% premium to its five-year average because of a stronger volume growth outlook.

We reiterate our Buy rating on Mahanagar Gas with a revised target price of Rs 2,320/share.
