UltraTech Cement Q4FY25 Earnings Highlights 

During the quarter, the Company’s consolidated sales volumes rose to 36.83 million metric tonnes (mn mt), reflecting a robust 9.7% year-on-year growth, driven primarily by the acquisitions of The India Cements Limited and the cement business of Kesoram Industries Limited.

On the cost front, energy expenses declined by 12% YoY, largely due to a reduction in fuel prices. Raw material costs, however, saw a modest increase of 2%.

India Cements, with an installed capacity of 14.45 million tonnes per annum (mtpa), became a subsidiary of UltraTech Cement effective December 25, 2024. Since the acquisition, the Company has executed a focused turnaround strategy, delivering significant operational improvements.

As a result, India Cements reported an EBITDA of ₹92 crore, a marked improvement from a loss of ₹9 crore in the same period last year. This turnaround has been achieved through a multi-pronged approach across operational efficiency, cost management, and asset optimization.

Through debottlenecking initiatives, an additional 0.3 mtpa capacity has been unlocked from the India Cements assets, particularly in the high-demand northern region.

Looking ahead, a comprehensive capital expenditure (capex) plan is being formulated to drive operational enhancements over the next two years, with the aim of aligning India Cements' performance and efficiency standards with those of UltraTech.
