What Aegis Logistics does

Aegis Logistics Limited, founded in 1956 and headquartered in Mumbai, is an Indian integrated oil, gas and chemical logistics company listed on the BSE (AEGISLOG) and NSE (AEGISCHEM). It operates two principal divisions: Gas Logistics, which handles LPG import, cryogenic storage, and distribution through terminals at Mumbai, Pipavav, Haldia and Kandla, and Liquid Logistics, which runs shore-based tank farms for petroleum, petrochemicals, and chemicals at Kandla, Pipavav, Mumbai, Mangalore, Kochi and Haldia. Across both divisions Aegis runs 22 terminals at seven major Indian ports with a combined static capacity of approximately 15.7 lakh KL for liquids and 1,14,000 MT for LPG, and handles 3+ million MT of LPG per annum — capturing roughly 61% of India's private LPG import market and over 30% of bulk liquid handling.

The business model spans four revenue streams: (i) throughput-based terminal services to PSU oil majors (HPCL, BPCL, IOCL) and private players (Reliance, SHV Energy, Total Oil); (ii) direct bulk LPG, propane and butane supply to industrial customers in steel (Arcelor Mittal, Jindal Steel), automotive (Piaggio, FIAT), ceramics, glass, pharmaceuticals, aerosol, paper and textiles, including recurring BOOM/BOOT installation contracts; (iii) downstream retail LPG through 150+ cylinder distributors under the Aegis Puregas and Chhota Cikander brands plus 14+ bottling plants; and (iv) autogas retail via 1,100+ dispensing stations across 500+ towns, including unified outlets co-located with Nayara Energy petrol stations. An LPG appliances line and a Singapore JV with Itochu Corporation for global LPG sourcing round out the offering. Pricing is commodity-linked and contract-negotiated; standard price lists are not publicly disclosed.

For FY26 Aegis reported consolidated revenue of Rs 8,333 crore (up 23% YoY) and PAT of Rs 1,107 crore (up 41% YoY), with Q4 FY26 gas-terminal revenue up 65% YoY and distribution volumes up 72% YoY. The company exited FY26 with Rs 5,939 crore in cash, has articulated a ~$5 billion cumulative capex pipeline through FY31, and in June 2026 signed a non-binding MoU for ~Rs 20,000 crore of investment at the proposed Vadhvan Port. Aegis Vopak Terminals (JV with Royal Vopak of the Netherlands) completed its IPO in June 2025, and other vehicles include wholly-owned subsidiaries Aegis Gas (LPG), Hindustan Aegis LPG, Eastern India LPG, Sea Lord Containers, Aegis Terminal (Pipavav), CRL Terminals, and Konkan Storage Systems (Kochi). Leadership is anchored by Chairman & Managing Director Raj K. Chandaria, with Sudhir Malhotra as CEO and Murad Moledina as CFO.

Expansion highlights6 records

Regional players

• Mahanagar Gas (MGL): City gas distribution company serving Mumbai and adjoining areas — a regional peer in the downstream gas distribution market that overlaps geographically with some of Aegis's Mumbai-area industrial LPG customers.

Direct peers

• Confidence Petroleum India: Indian LPG bottling and distribution company with a nationwide cylinder network and growing autogas presence. Closest direct Indian competitor to Aegis Puregas and Aegis Autogas in retail and commercial LPG distribution.
• Aegis Vopak Terminals Limited: Subsidiary of Aegis Logistics jointly controlled with Royal Vopak; operates 20 tank terminals across 6 Indian ports handling LPG and chemicals. Listed separately since June 2025, AVTL is the most direct comparable for Aegis's terminal/storage business.

Emerging players

• Gujarat Gas: Largest city gas distribution player by volume in India, serving industrial, commercial, domestic, and CNG segments. Overlaps with Aegis on industrial gas supply and competes for similar B2B customers.
• Indraprastha Gas (IGL): Dominant city gas distribution company in Delhi NCR, distributing CNG and PNG. Comparable as a downstream gas distribution peer focused on Indian end-markets, although operating in CNG/PNG rather than LPG.
• Adani Total Gas: Joint venture between Adani Group and TotalEnergies operating city gas distribution (CNG/PNG) across multiple Indian geographies. Comparable as a downstream gas distribution peer serving industrial and retail customers.

Broad incumbents

• Petronet LNG: India's largest LNG import and regasification company, with terminal infrastructure at Dahej and Kochi. Competes indirectly with Aegis in the gas import and downstream industrial customer segments.
• Royal Vopak: Dutch global leader in independent tank storage with terminals across 70+ locations. Vopak is both Aegis's JV partner in AVTL and the broadest incumbent peer in liquid bulk storage worldwide, sharing the same business model but operating at much larger global scale.
• Gulf Oil Corporation (India): Part of the Hinduja Group, Gulf Oil is one of the established private-sector LPG marketers in India with industrial and domestic presence. Comparable as a broader incumbent LPG player with downstream brand and distribution.

Others

• IMC Limited: Indian conglomerate with marine logistics, dredging, and offshore operations, including terminal handling. Adjacent ecosystem participant providing complementary port and marine services to terminal operators like Aegis.
