Gujarat Energy Limited (GUJENERGY) is Gujarat's integrated city gas and gas trading major, formed after the GSPC Group merger, and it reports into a quarter where spot LNG surged from $16 to $23-26/MMBtu and the rupee slid past 95/USD. The print will speak to whether the CGD EBITDA margin holds near the guided Rs. 5.5-6.5/scm band after Q1's Rs. 5.18/scm, and whether the gas trading book sustains the run-rate behind management's Rs. 1,100-1,200 Cr FY27 profit guidance.

The board of Gujarat Energy Limited will meet on 5 Nov 2026 to consider the Q2/H1 FY27 standalone and consolidated financial results. The trading window remained closed from 1 Oct to 7 Nov 2026.
The Q2/H1 FY27 earnings call is scheduled for Friday, 6 Nov 2026 at 4:00 p.m. IST, with senior management Q&A.
The quarter tests management's 'portfolio, not segment' margin defense against its sharpest input-cost move since the merger: Asian spot LNG (JKM) ran from $16/MMBtu in early July to $23-26/MMBtu by September, averaging $19/MMBtu over April-August versus $12 a year earlier, while the administered APM leg reset from $7.86 to $9.00/MMBtu into September and the rupee fell past 95/USD.
Volume legs look supported — industry CGD sales rose 27% YoY in July 2026, and the propane disruption worked in gas's favour, with Morbi units running gas and LPG in equal proportion at 4.4 million cubic metres a day by August after propane supplies were discontinued, against Saudi CP propane at $625/t for September. On trading, management guided Rs. 1,100-1,200 Cr FY27 gas trading profit, reiterated Rs. 1,100 Cr with a 'conservative approach', and stated there would be 'no reversal of these gains in Q2' after a strong Q1.
The margin leg is the strain point: Q1 CGD margin printed Rs. 5.18/scm, below the guided Rs. 5.5-6.5/scm band for FY27-FY28, so the call will centre on the margin bridge from spot LNG at $24-26 and whether portfolio-level offsets held the band.

Q1 FY27 CGD margin printed Rs. 5.18/scm against the guided Rs. 5.5-6.5/scm band for FY27-FY28. Management explained the shortfall by a larger volume denominator and said it manages the portfolio rather than each segment's EBITDA margin.
Management has guided Rs. 1,100-1,200 Cr of gas trading profit for FY27, reiterated at Rs. 1,100 Cr with a 'conservative approach'. It also confirmed there would be 'no reversal of these gains in Q2' after a strong Q1.
Management said 'Maybe by end of '27' for reaching the 70% long-term sourcing target. New long-term sourcing volumes are expected to start from 2028, a timeline shifted by the Iran situation.
Asked about Morbi profitability at $17-18 spot LNG and Rs. 95/USD against roughly Rs. 72/SCM pre-VAT pricing, management responded: 'We are in the business of making profits, so we cannot be making losses'. The company supplied Morbi through the Middle East crisis, which it said reinforced its position as a reliable energy partner.
