Adani Total Gas trying to mitigate reduced supply to industrial clients

Mumbai, March 11 (UNI) Adani Total Gas Ltd officially informed stock exchanges here on Wednesday that recent geopolitical tensions in West Asia has led some of its gas suppliers to curtail deliveries, resulting in reduced supplies to its industrial customers.
The reduced supply to industrial customers of the company came days after the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas issued the Natural Gas (Supply Regulation) Order, 2026 on March 9, which has directed gas allocation toward priority sectors like domestic piped natural gas and compressed natural gas used for transport, as per the statement.
As per the government regulation, these segments are given top priority in allocation to ensure household supply and mobility needs remain uninterrupted even during supply shocks. Industrial and commercial consumers, by contrast, may face curtailed availability depending on operational supply conditions, according to the statement.
However, Adani Total Gas stated that it is currently evaluating operational and commercial implications of the reduced supply and the new allocation regime.
The company said it welcomed the government's move, and is currently assessing the operational impact and coordinating with authorities to mitigate effects on its customer base and ensure continuity of priority gas supplies.
According to the company statement, internal measures are also being considered to mitigate the impact on customers and maintain network stability where possible.
The company said it is involved in supplying piped natural gas (PNG) to domestic, commercial and industrial consumers, as well as compressed natural gas (CNG) for transport. It operates across multiple regions in India, serving retail households, transport fleets and industrial clients that depend on natural gas for fuel and process needs. UNI BA SSP
