The company’s revenue from operations declined by 10.71 per cent to ₹12,315.75 crore in Q4FY25, compared to ₹13,793.16 crore in Q4FY24.

However, the company’s total income for FY25 fell by 2.97 per cent to ₹51,755 crore, down from ₹53,337.79 crore the previous year.

 

In an exchange filing, the company disclosed that a significant portion of its trade receivables as of 31 March 2025 pertain to ‘Use or Pay’ (UoP) dues.

 

“We draw your attention to Note 3 of the Statement regarding recoverability of trade receivables as at 31st March 2025,” the company said. “These include ‘Use or Pay’ dues amounting to ₹1,421.56 crore (gross) and ₹952.41 crore (net) after making a provision of ₹469.15 crore. These dues have arisen due to lower capacity utilisation by customers under long-term regasification agreements entered into by the company.”
