New Delhi, Ramco Cements Ltd has reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 181.58 crore in the June quarter of FY26, driven by improved cement prices and operational efficiency.
According to a regulatory filing released by Ramco Cements on Thursday, the company had posted a net profit of Rs 36.57 crore in the June quarter of the previous fiscal.
Its revenue from operations declined marginally to Rs 2,074 crore in the June quarter of FY26 from Rs 2,093.55 crore in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal.
“During Q1 FY26, cement sales stood at 40 lakh tonnes as against 42.9 lakh tonnes in Q1 FY25. This has declined by 7 per cent due to subdued demand owing to early monsoon rains in Kerala. In the eastern markets, several infrastructure projects, which are almost complete, amid unseasonal rains have dampened demand,” the company said in its earnings statement.
As a result, cement capacity utilisation stood at 68 per cent for Q1 FY26 as against 77 per cent in the previous corresponding period.
“EBIDTA for Q1 FY26 stood at Rs 404 crore as against Rs 328 crore for Q1 FY25, registering a growth of 23 per cent led by improved cement prices.”
Ramco Cements’ total expenses declined by 4.3 per cent to Rs 1,965.13 crore in the June quarter.
Ramco Cements’ total income, which includes other income, also declined 1 per cent to Rs 2,080 crore in the June quarter.
On capital expenditure, Ramco Cements said it “plans to achieve 30 million tonne per annum cement capacity by March 26, which includes commissioning of second line at Kolimigundla, addressing deficiencies in existing facilities and increasing grinding capacity at existing locations with nominal capital expenditure.”
On Friday, shares of Ramco Cements Ltd were trading at Rs 1,064.35 in morning trade on the BSE, down 6.32 per cent from its previous close price.
