Good to see GAIL performing well despite global energy challenges! The dividend is small but consistent - shows stability. Hope they invest more in expanding gas infrastructure to rural areas. 🇮🇳

Why only Re 1 dividend when profits are so high? As a small investor, I expected more. The exceptional income from Singapore settlement boosted numbers - without that, performance would look average.

Solid results! The 13.3% EBITDA growth shows operational efficiency. PSUs like GAIL are the backbone of our energy security. Hope they continue this momentum and reduce our LNG import dependence.

The stock has been steady but not spectacular. With city gas distribution expanding, GAIL has good long-term potential. Smart move settling that arbitration case - Rs 2,440 crore is no small amount! 💰

Mixed feelings - revenue up but profits down in Q4. Expenses seem quite high. They should explain why stock-in-trade purchases jumped so much. Transparency matters for PSUs we all own!

As someone whose cooking gas connection came through GAIL's network, I'm happy to see them doing well! More profits should mean more investment in cleaner energy solutions. 🌱
