UltraTech Cement Q2 Profit Rises 21% Amid Higher Costs and Volume Growth
UltraTech Cement reported a 21.3% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to around Rs 1,494-1,501 crore for Q2 FY27, with revenue increasing approximately 19% to over Rs 23,000 crore. Domestic grey cement sales volumes grew 13.8%, and capacity utilisation improved to 71%. Despite strong volume growth and cost optimisation, the company faced higher raw material and fuel costs amid the West Asia crisis, leading to profit margins narrowing and a sequential decline in net profit. The company also advanced capacity expansion and renewable energy initiatives.
