Results approved on May 4, dividend proposal cleared by Board

Petronet LNG Limited on Monday reported audited consolidated financial results for the quarter and financial year ended March 31, 2026. The Board of Directors approved the FY26 results on May 4, 2026, and also recommended a final dividend for shareholders. The final dividend proposal is ₹3 per equity share for FY2025-26, subject to shareholder approval at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM). The company said details such as the record date and the dividend payment timeline will be communicated in due course.

Q4FY26 numbers: profit and revenue from operations

For the March quarter (Q4FY26), Petronet LNG posted consolidated profit after tax (PAT) of ₹1,337.59 crore. Revenue from operations for the quarter stood at ₹9,442.09 crore, as per the audited results. The quarter-level profitability and revenue were disclosed alongside the year-end audited numbers, giving investors a full view of the closing quarter’s performance. The company’s results underline that its operating model continued to deliver profits even during a period described as volatile for global gas markets.

FY26 performance: annual revenue ₹43,494.91 crore, PAT ₹3,809.41 crore

For the full year FY2025-26, Petronet LNG reported consolidated revenue of ₹43,494.91 crore. Consolidated PAT for FY26 came in at ₹3,809.41 crore. The company positioned the year’s performance as resilient, even as external conditions such as shipping disruptions remained a factor for the broader LNG value chain. While the company did not provide a detailed segmental split in the provided information, it emphasised steady operations and cash generation during the period.

Dividend: ₹3 per share final dividend, AGM approval pending

Petronet LNG’s Board recommended a final dividend of ₹3 per equity share for FY2025-26. The equity share has a face value of ₹10 each, as stated in the announcement. The final dividend is subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming AGM. The company also indicated it had paid an interim dividend earlier in the year, reinforcing its stated focus on shareholder returns. In the provided disclosures, Petronet LNG is described as among the more consistent dividend payers in the energy space over several years.

Operations during a volatile year: focus on continuity and margins

Despite market volatility and shipping disruptions referenced in the results note, Petronet LNG said it maintained uninterrupted regasification operations at its two strategic LNG terminals. It also pointed to operational efficiencies, cargo management, and contractual balancing as measures used to protect margins. These operational levers are particularly relevant in LNG businesses where cargo timing, shipping constraints, and contracted commitments can influence costs and utilisation.

Petronet LNG has scheduled a conference call for May 5, 2026 at 11:30 AM IST. The company said the call will discuss the audited financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026. The timing places the concall immediately after the Board’s May 4 approval of results and dividend recommendation. For investors, this call is expected to be the primary forum for management commentary around FY26 execution and key watchpoints referenced in market notes.
