Morgan Stanley maintained an ‘Overweight’ rating with a target price of ₹1,749 on Mahanagar Gas Ltd.

What Long-Term Growth Trajectory Does Morgan Stanley Envision? The brokerage expects gas consumption to grow at a 7% CAGR between FY25 and FY35, supported by mobility and industrial users. Incremental volumes from aviation-related transport, taxis, and connected industrial zones could add resilience to MGL’s earnings.
With the airport’s phased ramp-up, MGL may witness a consistent rise in gas sales volumes. Stable regulatory frameworks and moderate capex intensity further strengthen the stock’s investment case within the utilities segment.
The focus on clean energy usage and the government’s natural gas penetration drive support MGL’s expansion runway. Market experts view its infrastructure-led scalability as a key long-term differentiator among CGD players.
