Revenue model

1. CNG Sales (Vehicle Fuel): Torrent Gas operates CNG refueling stations dispensing compressed natural gas to vehicle owners (auto-rickshaws, cars, buses, commercial vehicles). Revenue is generated through per-kilogram sales of CNG at retail stations. Prices are revised periodically based on domestic natural gas input costs and global market conditions.
2. Domestic PNG (Household Gas Connections): The company provides piped natural gas connections to households for cooking and other domestic uses. Revenue comes from gas consumption billing on a bi-monthly basis using actual meter readings, plus connection fees under two scheme options (Full Payment and EMI). Domestic PNG connections number over 2 lakh across operational districts.
3. Industrial PNG (Manufacturing & Process Fuel): Torrent Gas supplies PNG to industrial units for applications including boilers, furnaces, ovens, hot water generators, thermic fluid heaters, gas turbines for power generation, and Vapour Absorption Machines (VAM) for heating and cooling. Billing is fortnightly, and pricing is declared fortnightly at least seven days in advance. Two contract types are offered: MGO (minimum gas obligation) and Non-MGO (pay-per-consumption).
4. Commercial PNG (Hotels, Restaurants, Institutions): PNG supply to commercial establishments ranging from small tea stalls to large restaurants, hospitals, and hotels. Natural gas is used for cooking, space heating, air conditioning (gas-driven systems), refrigeration, and power generation. Revenue is usage-based with billing at agreed tariff rates.
5. IPO Proceeds (Planned): Torrent Gas is preparing for an IPO through the SEBI confidential pre-filing route. The offering may raise up to $450 million, with proceeds targeted for capital expenditure (expansion of CGD infrastructure) and debt reduction. Upon listing, Torrent Gas will become the third listed entity under the Torrent Group, joining Torrent Pharmaceuticals and Torrent Power.

Direct peers

• Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL): India's largest CGD operator serving Delhi NCR with CNG and PNG across domestic, commercial, and industrial segments. Direct peer to Torrent Gas with identical business model and PNGRB-regulated structure, but with significantly larger metro-scale footprint and customer base.
• Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL): Mumbai-listed CGD player serving Mumbai and surrounding regions with CNG and PNG. Closely comparable to Torrent Gas in product mix (CNG + domestic/industrial/commercial PNG) and business model, though concentrated in a single metro area versus Torrent Gas's multi-state geographic spread.
• Adani Total Gas (now Adani Gas): Pan-India CGD operator and joint venture between Adani Group and TotalEnergies, operating CNG and PNG networks across multiple states. Competes directly with Torrent Gas for PNGRB-authorized GAs and has overlapping geographic presence in several Tier 2/3 cities.
• GAIL Gas Limited: Subsidiary of GAIL (India) Limited, the largest state-owned natural gas company, operating CGD networks across India. Directly comparable CGD business model with the added advantage of upstream parent integration and government backing.
• Gujarat Gas Limited: India's largest CGD player by volume, headquartered in Gujarat, serving domestic, commercial, industrial, and CNG segments. Sibling entity under broader Torrent Group exposure and closest comparable in scale to Torrent Gas's industrial-heavy mix in Gujarat districts.
• Sabarmati Gas Limited: Subsidiary of Gujarat State Petronet operating CGD networks in Gujarat and Rajasthan. Direct competitor in adjacent GAs to Torrent Gas's Gujarat/Rajasthan operations, with similar end-customer mix across CNG, domestic PNG, and industrial PNG.
• Maharashtra Natural Gas Limited (MNGL): Joint venture between GAIL Gas and BPCL operating CGD in Pune and other Maharashtra districts. Direct competitor to Torrent Gas in Maharashtra — confirms the multi-operator overlap noted in Pune district where both serve alongside each other.
• Central UP Gas Limited (CUGL): JV between GAIL Gas and BPCL operating CNG and PNG in Kanpur and other Uttar Pradesh districts. Directly competes with Torrent Gas in UP territory, with Kanpur district showing the split urban-rural division between the two operators.

Emerging players

• AG&P Pratham: Emerging private CGD operator focused on Tier 2 and Tier 3 city expansion across India with international backers. Comparable in scale and segment focus to Torrent Gas, though with thinner geographic authorization and operating history.
• Think Gas (City Energy): Emerging private CGD player competing for PNGRB GA authorizations in Tier 2/3 cities, recently commissioned CNG stations in multiple states. Comparable targeting of mid-India CGD markets where Torrent Gas also operates.
