IRM Energy IPO Review:
IRM’s key growth area is lucrative and relatively underpenetrated, with robust volume growth projected to reach 1.51 mmscmd from the current FY23 volume of 0.54 mmscmd. The government’s emphasis on transitioning to a gas-based economy, the development of the natural gas grid connecting major demand and supply centers in India, and the target of increasing the natural gas share in the energy mix to 15% by FY2030 from 6.3% in FY23 will sustain the structural growth story, as noted by Reliance Securities.
IRM boasts a diverse customer portfolio and an extensive distribution network of CNG and PNG, supported by strong relationships across a varied customer base, including industrial, commercial, and domestic customers. This ensures an efficient and optimal business mix in the future.
