Hormuz Disruptions Weigh On Revenue
The biggest change in the quarter came at the topline level. Petronet LNG's profit and revenue took a significant hit as compared to the March 2026 quarter.
The sequential drop came as disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz affected LNG flows during the quarter. The disruption put pressure on the company's revenue even as operations continued.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) fell 17.5% sequentially to ₹1,535 crore from ₹1,861 crore. Even with the lower operating profit, the company recorded a much higher margin.
EBITDA Margin Expands Sharply
Petronet LNG's EBITDA margin rose to 27.6% from 19.7% in the previous quarter, an expansion of 790 basis points. The stronger margin provided some support to profitability despite the steep decline in revenue.
The Petronet LNG Q1 FY 2026-27 results therefore show a mixed picture, with the quarter's revenue taking a sizeable hit while operating margins held up better.
