The company reported consolidated revenue of ₹1,160 crore and a consolidated Profit After Tax (PAT) of ₹12.76 crore for the period. Standalone PAT for the year stood at ₹13.22 crore.
Dividend and Audit Appointment

Business Operations
IRM Energy operates as an integrated city gas distribution (CGD) company, supplying Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Piped Natural Gas (PNG) in Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. The company completed its Initial Public Offering (IPO) in November 2023, aiming to fund expansion and operational growth in the CGD sector.
Outstanding Amounts and Impairment Losses
Investor attention is drawn to specific financial challenges. Outstanding amounts from joint venture Venuka Polymers Private Limited include ₹22.35 million for redemption and ₹4.70 million in dividends. Additionally, IRM Energy has ₹15.90 million for redemption and ₹3.34 million in dividends outstanding from associate Farm Gas Private Limited, along with ₹122.84 million in business advances to Farm Gas, which is currently in a recovery phase. Further complicating matters, an impairment loss of ₹50.94 million was recognized on loans and receivables from joint venture Ni-Hon Cylinders Pvt. Ltd., attributed to its non-operational status and negative net worth. A previously reported GST penalty demand of ₹0.61 crore has been favorably resolved by the Appellate Authority, eliminating this liability.
IPO Fund Utilization
As of March 31, 2026, IRM Energy had utilized ₹301.47 crore of its IPO proceeds, with ₹194.29 crore remaining unutilized. These funds are designated for continued expansion of its CGD network.
Competitive Landscape
IRM Energy competes in the city gas distribution sector with larger listed peers such as Indraprastha Gas Ltd (IGL), Mahanagar Gas Ltd (MGL), and Gujarat Gas Ltd (GGL). These companies also focus on expanding their network for CNG and PNG supply across various geographies in India.
Investor Outlook
Shareholders will vote on the recommended ₹1.5 final dividend. Moving forward, investors will monitor IRM Energy's progress in recovering outstanding investments and advances from Venuka Polymers and Farm Gas. Developments concerning the impairment loss related to Ni-Hon Cylinders will also be closely watched, alongside the company's ongoing expansion and operational efficiency efforts in its CGD network.
