UltraTech Cement Q1 Profit Jumps 17%, Revenue Up 15.8%

New Delhi, Jul 20 (PTI) The country's leading cement maker UltraTech Cement on Monday reported a 17.23 per cent increase in its consolidated net profit to Rs 2,603.72 crore in the June quarter of FY27.

It had posted a net profit of Rs 2,220.91 crore in the April-June period a year ago, the Aditya Birla group flagship firm said in a regulatory filing.

Revenue from operations was up 15.85 per cent at Rs 24,648.20 crore in the June quarter of FY27 against Rs 21,275.45 crore in the corresponding quarter a year before.

Total expenses were at Rs 21,286.19 crore in the June quarter, up 15.65 per cent over the year-ago period.

UltraTech Cement's total income, which includes other income, was at Rs 24,778.47 crore, up 15.48 per cent in the June quarter of FY27.

According to the company, it has a "broad-based growth across revenues, profitability and sales volumes" in the June quarter.

In the June quarter, UltraTech domestic sales volumes stood at 39.2 million tonnes, registering 13.1 per cent growth over the corresponding period of the previous year. Its total consolidated cement volume was up 12.2 per cent to 41.31 MTPA.

Capacity utilisation of the leading cement maker stood at 81 per cent on an installed capacity of 200.1 MTPA (million tonnes per annum) in India, led by underlying strength in demand across housing, infrastructure and commercial construction segments.

"Operating EBITDA per tonne improved to Rs 1,214, compared with Rs 1,198/mt in the same quarter of the previous year, underscoring the Company's continuing focus on cost discipline and execution excellence," it said.


During the quarter, UltraTech added its capacity by commissioning 8.7 MTPA of grey cement capacity.

Ultratech also credited this to the rapid turnaround of India Cements Ltd, the South-based company, which it acquired in late 2024, where its integration with a sharper cost focus and market execution have begun translating into gains.

"This is evident from India Cements Q1 FY27 Normalised PAT at Rs 52 crore compared to a net loss of Rs 183 crore in Q1 FY25, supported by 18.5 per cent volume growth, demonstrating UltraTech's ability to rapidly stabilise, integrate and improve acquired assets," it said.

Its logistics cost reduced by 1 per cent on a year-on-year basis, helped by "consistent cost reduction by sustainable improvement in logistic efficiencies and integration gains". However, it was partly offset by an increase in Diesel cost.

However, its fuel cost was up by 5 per cent, said UltraTech in its earnings presentation.

According to the company, its results " for the three months and year ended 30/06/2026 are not comparable with the previous corresponding period" due to the acquisition of Birla White WallCare (Earlier known as Wonder WallCare).

While updating its progress on its Cables and Wires business, in which UltraTech is foraying, the company said it is "on track to launch in Q3/FY27".

Out of the total investment of Rs 1,800 crore planned for the Cables and Wires business, UltraTech has committed Rs 888 crore till June 2026. It has received regulatory certification and trial production of LDC (Light Duty Cables) wires is underway.

Share of UltraTech Ltd on Monday settled at Rs 11,897.80 on BSE, up 1.47 per cent from the previous close.
