Adani Total Gas Ltd on Monday reported an 8 per cent fall in its June quarter net profit after a cut in supply of cheaper domestically produced gas led to higher input prices. Net profit was Rs 162 crore in April-June - the first quarter of 2025-26 fiscal year - compared with Rs 177 crore a year back, according to a company statement. Cost of natural gas, which the firm converts into CNG for sale to automobiles and pipes to household kitchens for cooking, rose 31 per cent to Rs 1,049 crore in the quarter.
