UltraTech Cement Limited, a flagship of the Aditya Birla Group, has reported a strong financial performance for the quarter ending June 30, 2025, underpinned by strategic acquisitions, operational efficiency, and sustainability milestones.
Consolidated net sales stood at Rs21,040 crore, up from Rs18,626 crore in the corresponding period last year. Profit before interest, depreciation, and tax rose by 44% to Rs4,591 crore, while profit after tax surged 49% to Rs2,226 crore, reflecting sharp financial momentum.
Operationally, UltraTech recorded consolidated sales volumes of 36.83 million metric tonnes, reflecting a growth of 9.7%—driven largely by the successful integration of The India Cements Limited and the cement business of Kesoram Industries Limited. Energy costs declined 12% year-on-year due to easing fuel prices, while raw material costs saw a marginal 2% increase.
India Cements has seen a remarkable turnaround since becoming an UltraTech subsidiary in December 2024. It posted an EBITDA of Rs92 crore this quarter, compared to a Rs9 crore loss in the same period last year. Through strategic debottlenecking, an additional 0.3 mtpa capacity was unlocked in northern India, with further capex investments planned to align operations with UltraTech’s standards.
The quarter also marked notable advances in sustainability. UltraTech commissioned 12 MW of waste heat recovery system (WHRS) capacity, raising its total to 363 MW. Green power now constitutes 39.5% of the company’s energy mix. It continues to rank as India’s highest-performing cement brand in the S&P Dow Jones Sustainability Index, maintaining its top-10 global placement for the fourth straight year.
On the capacity front, UltraTech added 3.5 mtpa in grey cement during Q1 FY26, boosting total capacity to 192.26 mtpa. This expansion reflects the company’s steady pursuit of demand-led growth and its commitment to supporting infrastructure development nationwide.
By navigating acquisitions, optimizing operations, and bolstering green energy adoption, UltraTech continues to solidify its position as a performance-driven and future-focused cement major.
