"ATGL (Adani Total Gas) maintained its growth trajectory, focusing on customer centric approach and delivering a robust operational performance with a notable 15% year-on-year increase in volume. Despite the reduced APM gas allocation, Team ATGL ensured an uninterrupted supply of CNG to our large masses of consumers by sourcing additional supplies of gas through alternative options," Suresh P Manglani, ED and CEO pf Adani Total Gas commented.
