Shares of Indraprastha Gas Ltd. (IGL), a prominent player in the gas utilities sector, have experienced a notable rise over the past few sessions. The company, which processes and distributes compressed natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas, has seen its shares gain for the third consecutive session. This uptrend is primarily attributed to a strategic joint venture (JV) agreement with Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (RVUNL) to establish a solar plant in Rajasthan.
On Tuesday, IGL’s shares surged over 3%, reaching an intraday high of ₹217.5 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE).

The stock opened at ₹210.93 on August 31, 2025, and has since climbed, reflecting investor optimism about the company’s expansion into solar energy.
Earlier in the morning, IGL shares were trading at ₹215.96, marking a 2.38% increase from the previous close. This positive momentum has contributed to the stock’s performance as a constituent of the NIFTY MIDCAP 150 index. The company’s consistent financial performance and strategic initiatives have bolstered investor confidence.
Indraprastha Gas Ltd., jointly promoted by Bharat Petroleum Corporation and Gas Authority of India, has a market capitalization of ₹295,302,417,730 INR. With a price-to-earnings ratio of 17.19071, the company has demonstrated resilience in the market, maintaining a 52-week high of ₹284.775 and a low of ₹153.05.
The JV with RVUNL is a pivotal development for IGL, aligning with global trends towards sustainable energy solutions. This move not only diversifies IGL’s energy portfolio but also positions the company to capitalize on the growing demand for renewable energy in India.
As the market continues to navigate uncertainties, IGL’s strategic initiatives and robust financial health make it a noteworthy entity in the utilities sector. Investors and market analysts will closely monitor the company’s progress in its solar energy ventures and its impact on future growth prospects.
