About Matrix Gas
Matrix Gas and Renewables Ltd is an Ahmedabad-based natural-gas sourcing and marketing company. It buys domestic and imported gas (including LNG) and supplies it through pipeline, virtual pipelines (LNG/CNG cascades) and city-gas tie-ups to industrial users, CNG stations and commercial customers, mainly in Gujarat and neighbouring states. It also holds gas-trading licences and has signed several MoUs for green-hydrogen, compressed biogas and renewable projects, which give the company its 'Renewables' suffix.
The company filed a draft red herring prospectus with SEBI in 2024 for a mainboard IPO comprising a fresh issue to fund working capital, gas-supply infrastructure and hydrogen projects. Revenue is dominated by gas trading, so turnover is large relative to margins – in the several hundred crore range with net margins in low single digits – and working capital swings with gas prices.
The share has a face value of ₹1 and about 40 Cr shares outstanding (indicative), which explains the low absolute quote of ₹4.9. Status of the IPO approval and the latest financials should be re-checked before dealing.

What works
- • Positioned in Gujarat, India's most gas-intensive industrial market, with existing supply contracts and licences.
- • Optionality from green-hydrogen and CBG projects backed by state policy.
- • IPO process under way would improve disclosure and provide a listed exit.
What to watch
- • Gas trading is a thin-margin, working-capital-heavy business exposed to LNG price volatility.
- • Green-hydrogen projects are early, capital-hungry and depend on subsidies.
- • IPO timing is uncertain; a DRHP can lapse or be withdrawn, and figures here are approximate.
