GAIL Shares Drop as Tariff Hike Comes in Lower Than Anticipated and Timeline Gets Delayed

GAIL Shares Drop as Tariff Hike Comes in Lower Than Anticipated and Timeline Gets Delayed
GAIL traded sharply lower today, falling more than 6% after the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board approved a modest tariff hike to ₹65.69 per mmBtu far below the company’s requested ₹78. The revision will take effect from January 1, 2026, delaying expected earnings support by a full year. Analysts from UBS and Citi noted the increase covers only limited parameters, with a broader, more meaningful review now postponed to April 2028.
