UltraTech Cement Ltd, the flagship cement company of the Aditya Birla Group, has announced its financial results for the first quarter of FY2026. The company has reported a robust performance with higher sales and improved profits. At 3:12 PM, Ultratech share price was up 0.70% and was trading at ₹12,586.00.
In Q1 FY2026 (April to June), UltraTech Cement's consolidated net profit rose 49% year-on-year (YoY) to ₹2,225.90 crore, compared to ₹1,494.82 crore in the same period last year. However, the profit was down 10% from ₹2,482.04 crore reported in Q4 FY2025.
The company’s net sales reached ₹21,040 crore, showing a 13% growth from ₹18,626 crore in the same quarter last year. Its profit before interest, depreciation, and tax (EBIDTA) stood at ₹4,591 crore, up 44% YoY.
UltraTech’s sales volume rose by 9.7% to 36.83 million metric tonnes during the quarter. This increase was largely due to the acquisition of The India Cements Limited and the cement business of Kesoram Industries Limited.
The company had acquired more than 55% stake in India Cements in December last year and bought Kesoram’s cement business in March this year.
India Cements, with a cement production capacity of 14.45 million tonnes per annum, posted an EBIDTA of ₹92 crore, compared to a loss of ₹9 crore in the same period last year. The company also released additional capacity of 0.3 mtpa through debottlenecking in the northern region.
UltraTech managed to keep energy costs 12% lower YoY, helped by falling fuel prices. However, its raw material costs increased by 2%.
Presently, the company is working on a capital expenditure (capex) plan to upgrade the India Cements assets over the next two years. The goal is to bring them up to UltraTech’s operational standards.
