Commenting on the performance, Mr. Puneet Dalmia, Managing Director & CEO – Dalmia Bharat Limited, said, “The Indian economy continues to demonstrate resilience amidst the ongoing global macroeconomic uncertainty. With strong GDP growth projections supported by higher capex allocation and increased disposable income for the individuals, we remain confident about healthy cement demand in the country.” He further added , “Having successfully achieved our milestone of cement capacity at 49.5 MnT, we have commenced the next phase of expansion with the recently announced capacity addition of 6 MnT catering mainly to new markets in Western India. During the current year, while profitability remained subdued due to soft demand and weak pricing, I am confident to deliver profitable growth going forward on the back of stronger volumes, improved realizations and a consistent focus on cost leadership.”


Mr. Dharmender Tuteja, Chief Financial Officer – Dalmia Bharat Limited , said “Our cement volumes declined by 3% YoY in Q4, primarily due to the discontinuation of JP tolling volumes. However, quality of sales improved driven by a higher share of trade sales and increased contribution from premium products. Revenue from operations declined by 5% YoY to Rs 4,091 Cr, reflecting the continued softness in cement prices. However, our EBITDA grew by 21% YoY to Rs 793 Cr during the quarter due to our continued focus on cost leadership through various initiatives including increase in renewable power capacity.” He further said , “Backed by a robust balance sheet, strong leadership team and optimistic profitability outlook, we are well-positioned to successfully undertake the next phase of our expansion.”
