UltraTech Cement reported a consolidated net profit of INR 3,000.02 crore for the March quarter of FY26, reflecting growth over the corresponding period last year. Revenue from operations increased to INR 25,799.47 crore, supported by higher sales volumes across housing, infrastructure, and commercial construction segments. The company recorded its highest-ever quarterly sales volumes, with domestic grey cement dispatches rising to 42.41 million tonnes. Full-year profit crossed INR 8,000 crore for the first time, while capacity expansion and acquisitions impacted comparability with the previous year. The company also announced a special dividend, alongside continued progress in diversifying into new business segments.

Revenue from operations during the quarter stood at INR 25,799.47 crore, up from INR 23,063.32 crore a year earlier. Total consolidated income, including other income, was reported at INR 25,887.03 crore, while total expenses were recorded at INR 21,894.18 crore.
The company noted that its financial results for the quarter and full year are not directly comparable with the previous corresponding period due to acquisitions, including India Cements Ltd, Birla White WallCare, and UAE-based RAKWCT, which have contributed to expanded operations.
During the quarter, UltraTech recorded its highest-ever sales volumes. Grey cement sales volumes in India reached 42.41 million tonnes, reflecting a year-on-year growth of 9.3 per cent. Capacity utilisation increased to 89 per cent, supported by sustained demand from residential housing, infrastructure development, and commercial construction.
For the full financial year, the company reported a consolidated net profit of INR 8,188.35 crore, while total consolidated income stood at INR 89,089.04 crore. Domestic grey cement volumes for the year reached 145 million tonnes.
Operational efficiencies contributed to cost management during the period. Energy costs declined by 3 per cent year-on-year, supported by an increased share of green power, which accounted for 43 per cent of total consumption compared to 34.4 per cent in the previous year. The company also expanded its use of alternative fuels and raw materials, alongside improvements in production efficiency.
Imported fuel costs averaged USD 122 per tonne during the quarter, remaining largely stable on a year-on-year basis. Overall costs per tonne declined by 2 per cent, reflecting ongoing cost optimisation measures across operations.
The company indicated that geopolitical tensions in West Asia had exerted upward pressure on fuel prices, packaging materials, diesel, and freight costs. However, diversified sourcing strategies and procurement measures helped mitigate the impact on operations.
In a separate regulatory filing, the company’s board recommended a special dividend of INR 240 per share for the financial year. This decision follows a year in which the company achieved multiple operational milestones, including crossing INR 8,000 crore in consolidated profit for the first time, expanding domestic grey cement capacity beyond 200 million tonnes per annum, and reporting operating cash flows of INR 14,398 crore, representing a 50 per cent year-on-year increase.
UltraTech also stated that its planned entry into the cables and wires segment is progressing as scheduled, with commissioning targeted by the third quarter of FY27, as part of its broader diversification strategy.
Shares of the company closed at INR 12,013.20 on the BSE at the end of the trading session, reflecting marginal movement from the previous close.
