Zak Ventures Limited (ZVL) has announced a significant business update, highlighting its strong financial performance, growing operational presence, and clear strategic vision. As ZVL prepares for its Initial Public Offering (IPO), the company is reinforcing its position as a nationwide leader in India’s evolving energy infrastructure landscape.
This update marks a pivotal chapter in ZVL’s transformation from a regional gas pipeline contractor into an integrated, future-focused energy enterprise.
About Zak Ventures
ZVL operates across three vital energy segments: natural gas distribution, Auto LPG stations, and Compressed Bio Gas (CBG) production. The company’s leadership team brings over 100 years of combined industry experience and includes:
- Kashif Hasan (CEO) – A gas infrastructure specialist who led ZVL’s entry into Auto LPG and CBG.
- Subodh Kumar (Advisor) – Former Executive Director at Indian Oil Corporation, with expertise in SATAT policy and biofuels.
- Arvind Soni (Head, ALDS) – An accomplished engineer overseeing the rollout of Auto LPG stations across Karnataka.
International partnerships with AGRIKOMP and IBBK Germany provide advanced biogas technology, while ZVL’s pipeline network, extending over 5,000 km, demonstrates its engineering and execution capabilities.
Financial Growth and Resilience
In FY2025, Zak Ventures has shown impressive revenue growth, nearly doubling from the previous year. Strong improvements in profit after tax and net worth underscore the company’s disciplined approach and focus on scalable, high-margin opportunities.
The gas pipeline division was the major revenue driver, contributing approximately 95 percent of total income, particularly through steel pipeline projects. Meanwhile, investments in Auto LPG and CBG segments are beginning to yield early results, laying a solid foundation for diversification and long-term value creation.
Operational Highlights by Division
Gas Pipeline Division
ZVL maintains a healthy and active order book exceeding ₹115 crore, with 19 live projects. These include a ₹12.13 crore steel pipeline for GAIL India in Bokaro and ₹12 crore MDPE works for Green Gas Ltd in Lucknow. One of the company’s significant achievements includes the commissioning of 6.1 km of steel pipelines along the Delhi-Meerut Expressway. This milestone qualifies ZVL for larger, more competitive bids in the infrastructure sector.
Looking forward, ZVL anticipates ₹45–50 crore in new orders from IGL by July 2025, focused on MDPE and LMC contracts.
Auto LPG Division
The Dasarahalli Auto LPG station in Bengaluru became operational in February 2025, with dealership agreements underway with Jio-BP for MS/HSD dispensing. Construction at the Kudlu station is ongoing, with a launch expected in July 2025. ZVL is also expecting a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for a station in Gulbarga by June.
To support further expansion, six land parcels have been identified in South India under a franchise model, enabling a capital-light growth strategy in this segment.
CBG Division
In the CBG vertical, the Ghaziabad facility (2.5 MTPD) is ready to begin feedstock intake by June 2025 following successful digester modifications. The Patiala plant is on track for commissioning by July 2025.
ZVL has secured an EPC order book of ₹70 crore to develop larger-scale biogas plants in Moradabad and Nagpur. These projects are supported by ZVL’s in-house plant commissioning and engineering teams.
Advancing India’s Renewable Energy Goals
ZVL is aligned with India’s national vision for energy sustainability and net-zero emissions. The company has taken a multi-pronged approach to strengthening its clean energy strategy:
- Partnering with over 200 farmers in Ghaziabad to create stable agro-residue supply chains for CBG feedstock.
- Monetizing digestate by-products as fertilizer through collaborations with Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs).
- Implementing GIS-based IoT leak detection systems across its steel pipeline network by Q3 2025.
- Modernizing Auto LPG stations with retrofits to dispense biogas-CNG blends by FY2026.
Strategic Capital Allocation
A pre-IPO funding round of ₹5.5 crore has been strategically utilized to support expansion across core operations:
- Investing in the Ghaziabad CBG plant for CAPEX and feedstock security.
- Acquiring land and funding infrastructure for new Auto LPG stations in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
- Supporting steel procurement and labor costs for pipeline EPC projects.
These investments have reinforced ZVL’s identity as a fully integrated and future-ready energy solutions provider.
Conclusion
Zak Ventures Limited is poised for a significant leap forward as it prepares for its IPO. With a strong financial track record, a diversified portfolio, and a bold vision for renewable energy, ZVL is uniquely positioned to shape the future of energy infrastructure in India.
The company’s disciplined execution, innovative partnerships, and nationwide expansion reflect a commitment not just to business growth but to environmental responsibility and national progress.
As the energy landscape continues to evolve, Zak Ventures is ready to lead the way.
