Green Initiatives: Plans in place to raise green power usage from 5% to 86% of mix by FY27 via Waste Heat Recovery and renewables.
The sector anticipated stable to moderate growth with easing cost inflation. While volumes expanded and realisations improved, exceptional expenses and higher input costs continue to weigh on margins and profitability across the industry. India Cements' negative PAT reflects sector headwinds, although operational improvements are visible.
India Cements management highlighted strong recovery in volumes and improved realizations, aided by market demand and operational efficiency measures. However, the quarter was impacted by higher costs and exceptional items. Management reiterated a focus on capex, energy efficiency, and digitisation to drive future gains. Green power and waste heat recovery projects are expected to yield benefits from FY27 onwards.
