Synopsis

• HeidelbergCement India Ltd reported a 10.38 per cent decline in net profit to INR 45.21 crore in the March quarter of FY26, compared to INR 50.45 crore in the same period last year, mainly due to lower sales realisation.
• Revenue from operations increased 5.5 per cent to INR 646.22 crore, supported by a 7.8 per cent rise in sales volume, though prices fell by 2 per cent.
• EBITDA per tonne declined 10 per cent to INR 649, while total expenses rose 5.9 per cent year-on-year to INR 586.77 crore.
• For FY26, net profit rose 25.5 per cent to INR 133.97 crore and revenue increased 7.6 per cent to INR 2,361.27 crore.
• The board recommended a 70 per cent dividend, amounting to INR 7 per equity share for FY26.

HeidelbergCement India Ltd reported a 10.38 per cent year-on-year decline in its net profit to INR 45.21 crore in the March quarter of FY26, compared with INR 50.45 crore in the same period last year. The company attributed the drop in profitability mainly to weaker sales realisation.


Revenue from operations, however, showed an increase of 5.5 per cent to INR 646.22 crore in the same quarter, rising from INR 612.46 crore in the corresponding period of the previous year. The growth in revenue was driven largely by a 7.8 per cent rise in sales volume, while pricing pressures, with a 2 per cent decline in prices, partially offset the gains.

The company stated in its earnings disclosure that the increase in revenue was primarily supported by higher volumes, even as price reductions impacted overall realisation. EBITDA per tonne also declined by 10 per cent to INR 649 during the quarter.

Total expenses rose 5.9 per cent year-on-year to INR 586.77 crore, reflecting increased operational costs. Sales volume for the quarter stood at 1,354 kilo tonnes, marking a 7.8 per cent increase compared with the same period last year. Total income, including other income, came in at INR 653.45 crore, registering a 4.7 per cent rise.

For FY26 as a whole, the company recorded a 25.5 per cent increase in net profit to INR 133.97 crore, while revenue rose 7.6 per cent to INR 2,361.27 crore.

HeidelbergCement India, a subsidiary of German multinational Heidelberg Materials, also announced that its board recommended a dividend of 70 per cent, translating to INR 7 per equity share for FY26, as part of its annual financial decisions.

Shares of HeidelbergCement India Ltd closed at INR 162.05 on the BSE, reflecting a 1.98 per cent gain from the previous session.
