To become future-ready, can we modernize yet simplify?
We are helping the company improve profitability and optimize cost efficiency.
India has a high potential of gas demand and is likely to become one of the largest consumers of natural gas globally in the coming years. The share of natural gas in the primary energy mix could reach 20% by 2030.
One of India’s leading consumer gas distribution companies has grown rapidly year-on-year to become one of the market leaders in the space. In the backdrop of the Indian government trying to increase access to gas to about 70% of the population by 2025, the company wanted to further strengthen its business functions to become future-ready. In order to take up the massive growth in the offing, they were cognizant of the need to build up the organizational capability and modernize key aspects of the business in order to ensure sustained growth.
EY worked with the company to improve its overall profitability and optimize capital costs. We helped them drive their future growth and expansion vision through transformation of their key business functions.
