Sensex, Nifty updates on 24 March 2025: The benchmark BSE Sensex jumped 1.4% to 77,984.38, while the NSE Nifty gained 1.32% to 23,658, driven by renewed foreign investor interest and bargain hunting. Banking and IT stocks led the rally. The Indian rupee surged on Monday, rebounding from its 2025 losses as sustained dollar sales by foreign banks supported the local currency. The rupee peaked at 85.50 during the session, its strongest level since late 2024, before closing at 85.6350 against the U.S. dollar, up 0.4% for the day.

Share market live today: Quote on Market by Mahendra Patil, Founder and Managing Partner, MP Financial Advisory Services LLP
The Indian equity market recorded its strongest weekly gain in four years, driven by a confluence of supportive factors: attractive valuations following a prolonged correction, growing expectations of an RBI rate cut, the return of foreign inflows, robust domestic institutional participation, and favorable global cues. Investor sentiment toward India remains structurally positive. The country is increasingly being viewed as a long-term growth story, underpinned by strong digital infrastructure, ongoing economic reforms, favorable demographics, and rising consumption potential. Periodic market corrections continue to provide opportunities for reallocation into high-quality Indian equities with improved risk-reward profiles. While the recent rebound may signal a shift in market momentum, global uncertainties—including geopolitical tensions and tariff-related disruptions—remain key risks. Going forward, the market’s direction will hinge on a sustained recovery in domestic consumption and resilient corporate earnings.”
“Momentum may have returned, but fundamentals will chart the course.”

Share market live today: Government of India aims to transform the nation into a gas-based economy and achieve a 15% share of natural gas.
India’s energy mix has remained fundamentally unchanged over the past decade, with coal continuing to dominate energy consumption in the country and gas maintaining a modest share of around 6%. The Government of India aims to transform the nation into a gas-based economy and achieve a 15% share of natural gas in the primary energy mix by 2030, an increase from its current level of 6.5% (as of 2024). In this context, the City Gas Distribution industry plays a crucial role in enhancing the contribution of natural gas to India’s energy mix by ensuring efficient last-mile connectivity to consumers.

Share market live today: The contribution from CGD accounted for 20% in FY24 and is projected to increase to 25% by 2030.
According to CareEdge Ratings, in the natural gas sector, the contribution from CGD accounted for 20% in FY24 and is projected to increase to 25% by 2030. CareEdge Ratings anticipates that gas consumption volumes for the sector will grow at a Cumulative Average Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10% during FY25-30. According to CareEdge Ratings volumes are expected to expand at a sustainable compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of ~10% over FY25-30, supported by capital expenditure (capex) of Rs 30,000 crore during FY25-FY27.
PNGRB has set a target to establish 18,300 CNG stations and 126 million PNG-domestic connections by 2032, which is expected to drive CGD volume growth. CareEdge Ratings projects CGD volumes to record a CAGR of 10% from ~41 mmscmd in FY25 to ~ 72 mmscmd in FY30 and reach a 25% share in a natural gas basket in FY30 from the existing 20% level in FY24.
The CGD sector ranked as the second-largest consumer after the fertiliser industry in India’s overall natural gas consumption in FY24.- Historically, CGD consumption has demonstrated steady growth, with a temporary decline in FY23 amid a sharp rise in natural gas prices following the Russia-Ukraine conflict. However, demand recovered in FY24.
Tej Kiran Ghattamaneni, Assistant Director, CareEdge Ratings, adds, “The industry is poised for strong growth with CGD consumption share of natural gas set to rise to 25% by 2030. In the CGD consumption mix, CNG is expected to continue dominating volumes, supported by growth in CNG-powered vehicles and complemented by an increase in refuelling stations. The PNG-D penetration has enormous potential, with its share compared to LPG at only 1.5%-2% in the South, East, and North-East parts of the country. While the targets set for PNG-D connections appear optimistic, even partial delivery would drive rapid growth in gas demand. Addressing challenges related to timely approvals, trunk pipeline expansion, and connection to the national grid, as well as last-mile connectivity, shall be a prerequisite for the successful augmentation of the planned infrastructure in the sector.”
Puja Jalan, Director, CareEdge Ratings said, “The overall industry revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of ~18% during FY25-27 with profitability likely to improve in the medium term with growing volumes resulting in operating leverage efficiency. In the long run, profitability will be largely determined by the gas sourcing strategy adopted by CDG players in terms of APM usage and the proportion of spot and contracted R-LNG. For the CGD sector, dependence on costlier LNG import is expected to increase to ~55% by FY30 from ~26% level in FY24, thereby reinforcing the need to secure long-term contracts to manage price volatility.”
The government’s push towards increased access to cleaner fuels, along with favourable policy decisions such as the establishment of the Indian Gas Exchange (IGX) and the implementation of gas pricing changes based on the Kirit Parikh Committee’s recommendations, are some of the prominent regulatory enablers for the sector.
The PNGRB’s authorisation, which covers 88% of the country’s geographical area and 98% of its population through various bidding rounds, has been at the forefront of the CGD expansion in the country. -
The EBITDA/SCM is anticipated to experience moderation in FY25 due to a lower APM allocation, with a potential recovery from FY26 onwards. While ongoing debt-funded capital expenditures (capex) may compress debt coverage metrics in the near term, considering the modular nature of capex and the financial resourcefulness of sponsors, the overall financial profile is projected to remain comfortable.
