Petronet LNG Ltd Share Price Target Forecast (2026–2030)

Year	Target Price Range (₹)
2026	₹315 – ₹350
2027	₹340 – ₹385
2028	₹365 – ₹420

Petronet LNG Ltd Share Price Target 2026

Year	Share Price Target 1	Share Price Target 2
2026	₹315	₹350

Petronet reported an 11% YoY profit growth in FY2025 despite a 3.3% dip in sales—driven by higher margins and cost discipline. Trading at a P/E of just 12.15x—well below its 5-year average—and offering a 3.44% dividend yield, the stock appears undervalued relative to its 29.7% ROCE and zero net debt position. A 2026 target of ₹315–₹350 assumes stable LNG demand and continued dividend payouts.

Petronet LNG Ltd Share Price Target 2027

Year	Share Price Target 1	Share Price Target 2
2027	₹340	₹385

India’s push for a 15% gas mix in the energy basket (from ~6.5% today) supports long-term LNG demand. Petronet’s expansion into pipeline networks and city gas distribution (via subsidiaries) adds growth optionality. Assuming EPS reaches ₹26–₹28 by FY27 and P/E expands to 13–14x, the 2027 range of ₹340–₹385 is realistic.

Petronet LNG Ltd Share Price Target 2028

Year	Share Price Target 1	Share Price Target 2
2028	₹365	₹420

By 2028, benefits from new pipeline projects and higher regasification tariffs should reflect in profitability. The company’s asset-light model and near-zero leverage provide pricing power and resilience. A P/E of 13.5–14.5x on projected EPS (~₹27–₹29) supports the ₹365–₹420 band.

Petronet LNG Ltd Share Price Target 2029

Year	Share Price Target 1	Share Price Target 2
2029	₹390	₹460

Long-term tailwinds include India’s rising industrial gas consumption, fertilizer sector demand, and green hydrogen blending initiatives. Risks include global LNG price volatility and competition from Russian pipeline gas. Using a P/E of 14–15x on FY29 EPS (~₹28–₹31), the 2029 target is ₹390–₹460.

Petronet LNG Ltd Share Price Target 2030

Year	Share Price Target 1	Share Price Target 2
2030	₹415	₹500

Over a five-year horizon, Petronet’s value lies in its irreplaceable infrastructure, strategic importance, and capital efficiency—not explosive growth. A terminal P/E of 14.5–15.5x on FY30 EPS (~₹28.50–₹32.25) justifies the ₹415–₹500 range.
