In an interaction with CNBC-TV18, Vikas Gupta, the Managing Director of operations at PG Electroplast, said that one week of production has been lost across the company’s AC manufacturing plants due to the gas shortage.
Gupta went on to add that the company’s financial year 2026 revenue guidance may be affected due to this shortage of gas supply, although he did not specify by how much.
The US-Iran war in West Asia has impacted Gas production operations in Qatar, one of the biggest LNG producer in the world, forcing it to declare a Force Majeure to its clients, and has subsequently had a trickle down effect on other companies that use gas as an important component.
Gupta said that the LPG is used in plants for bracing and welding of Copper tubes and that the company is exploring alternatives to LPG. He went on to add that polymer availability and a 40% to 50% surge in prices are a cause of concern.
PG Electroplast shares had declined 15% on Monday, after it had informed the exchanges that it had received a communication from its gas suppliers about a shortage of Gas. It went on to add that it is currently assessing the situation with respect to any supply curtailment that may need to be imposed on its downstream customers, although it did not quantify the impact of this.
For financial year 2026, PG Electroplast has a revenue guidance of ₹5,700 crore to ₹5,800 crore, implying a growth of 17% to 19% over financial year 2025.
Shares of PG Electroplast are trading 6.8% lower currently at ₹498.75. The stock is down 18% in the last one month.
