Mahanagar Gas Share Price Target: The share price of the fuel company Mahanagar Gas Limited is in focus following a note from domestic brokerage firm Motilal Oswal, which has maintained an optimistic outlook for the company and reiterated an upside for the stock, making it an energy stock to buy in today’s trading session.
The stock has been in the limelight in recent times due to fuel price hikes implemented by the government.
The brokerage further noted that price hikes and improved realisations in the I&C PNG segment are expected to cushion margin pressure.
MOSL added that valuations appear attractive, leaving room for a re-rating as margin pressures ease. On the volume front, CNG demand is expected to sustain high single-digit growth, aided by vehicle additions and a recovery in bus additions.
Overall, MOSL expects around 9 per cent volume CAGR over FY26–28.
