The company was listed on exchanges in December 2005. As of February 26, 2024, the company’s market capitalisation stood at close to ₹1,750 crore. Everest Kanto share price has risen close to 100% in the past three years.

Business operations
Everest Kanto Cylinder and its subsidiaries are engaged in the manufacturing of high-pressure seamless gas cylinders and other cylinders, equipment, appliances and tanks.
The group is engaged in dealing of coal-based methane gas, liquified petroleum gases and trading fire extinguishment and related equipment and castor oil.
As of March 31, 2023, the company has one wholly owned overseas subsidiary company – EKC International FZE in Dubai – and three stepdown wholly owned overseas subsidiary companies – EKC Hungary Kft in Hungary, CP Industries Holdings Inc. in the US and EKC Europe GmbH in Germany.
Besides that, Everest Kanto Cylinder has two step-down subsidiaries, EKC Europe ZRT and EKC Egypt SAE, and two wholly owned Indian subsidiary companies – Calcutta Compressions and Liquefaction Engineering Ltd and Next Gen Cylinder Pvt. Ltd.
Everest Kanto Cylinder operates two manufacturing facilities in India located at Tarapur (Maharashtra) and Kandla SEZ (Gujarat) and two international facilities at Jebel Ali Free Zone in Dubai and Pittsburgh (PA), USA, with an aggregate capacity of over 1.5 million cylinders annually.
Its product range of industrial, CNG and jumbo cylinders are used for high-pressure storage of gases such as oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, argon and helium. It finds applications in a wide variety of industries such as manufacturing, fire equipment/suppression systems, medical establishments, aerospace/defence and automobiles apart from some specialised usage areas. The company has a roughly 150-strong client base in these vertical segments including Tata Motors, Bajaj Auto, Hyundai, Toyota, BOC India, Praxair, Mahanagar Gas and Adani Gas.
EKC’s financial performance during 2022-23 was weaker compared with the previous year. Frequent increase in CNG gas prices resulted in decline in consumption of CNG and, therefore, significantly impacted the demand for CNG cylinders, primarily in the commercial vehicle (CV) segment. The industrial segment of the company helped offset the decline and supported the performance.
Financial highlights
– Consolidated revenue for FY23 stood at ₹1,274.5 crore against the previous year's revenue of ₹1,698.8 crore. – The company’s net profit after tax stood at ₹75.9 crore for FY23 compared with ₹264.5 crore for FY22. – Operating profit, or earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda), fell to ₹161.1 crore in FY23 from ₹392 crore in FY22.
