Mutual Funds / UTI / Banks 14.12 PNG, the next growth driver: Foreign Institutional Investors 17.18 Bodies Corporate 4.47 There are more than 4.5mn domestic LPG connections in the NCT region alone. However, some users may have multiple connections in cities. Assuming on an average there are 1.5 Individuals 10.12 connections per user, the consumer segment would be more than 3 million households. Other 9.11 If we assume 50% of these consumers opt for PNG connection (as PNG is priced at 22% Total 100.0 lower to LPG), IGL would have a target consumer base of 1.5 mn households compared (` mn) FY11E FY12E FY13E to 210,000 consumers as on date. As, IGL is targeting these consumers; we expect, total Revenues 17,151.7 22,894.7 28,936.0 PNG volumes to grow from 87 million metric standard cubic meters (MMSCM) in FY10 Operating Profit 4,968.2 6,345.2 7,116.6 to 173.76 MMSCM in FY13E (at a CAGR of 26%).

Entry barriers to limit competition: IGL operated as a monopoly gas distributor in the city of Delhi for past 8 years. Based on the new regulations by the PNGRB, the Delhi City gas distribution market will open up to competition after December 2011. Although IGL’s marketing exclusivity will end, it will retain exclusivity as ‘city gas carrier’ in Delhi till FY25. IGL would charge a network tariff of 14% for permitting other entrants for using its network. The new players can only develop pipeline infrastructure in areas where IGL does not have any presence.
