Cement Companies Report Volume Growth Amid Rising Fuel and Input Costs Impacting Margins
Leading cement manufacturers reported mixed earnings in the June quarter of FY27, with most showing double-digit sales volume growth, except Ambuja Cement, which saw a 14% decline. While revenues grew, profits were pressured by rising fuel, raw material costs, and geopolitical disruptions in West Asia. Companies like UltraTech Cement and Nuvoco Vistas posted profit growth, whereas others including Ambuja, Shree Cement, and Dalmia Bharat experienced net profit declines. Firms improved premium product portfolios and trade mix to protect margins and expect 7-8% volume growth in FY27.
