UltraTech Cement reported a 10% increase in profit to Rs 2,482 crore in the fourth quarter of FY25, driven by robust sales and reduced fuel costs. The company’s revenue also saw a 13% growth year-on-year, reaching Rs 23,063 crore. Despite a decline in full-year profit, UltraTech remains optimistic about its future prospects.

For the fiscal year 2026, UltraTech aims to add 12.4 million metric tonnes per annum (mtpa) to its capacity, with a target domestic capacity of 210.5 mtpa by the end of FY27. The company’s strategic focus on capacity expansion reflects its commitment to meeting growing market demands.
Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation, and amortization (Ebitda) rose by 12.3% year-on-year to Rs 4,618 crore, aligning with market expectations. The firm’s operational performance, indicated by Ebitda/mt, exhibited a positive trend, reflecting efficient cost management and operational efficiency.
UltraTech’s consolidated sales volumes for the quarter stood at 41.02 million metric tonnes, a 17% increase compared to the previous year. The company’s grey cement capacity utilization was reported at 89%, demonstrating effective production planning and utilization of resources.
Despite facing challenges such as a decline in sales realization per metric tonne, UltraTech managed to offset this through a reduction in fuel and power costs. The company’s continuous efforts to optimize costs while maintaining operational excellence have contributed to its overall performance.

With the completion of the Kesoram Cement acquisition, UltraTech has further strengthened its market position and expanded its operational footprint. The successful integration of acquired assets is crucial for unlocking synergies and driving future growth.

Looking ahead, UltraTech plans to invest significantly in capital expenditures, with a focus on both growth initiatives and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) activities. This balanced approach underscores the company’s commitment to sustainable business practices and long-term value creation.
UltraTech’s strong financial performance, coupled with its strategic expansion plans and focus on operational efficiency, positions the company well for future growth in the competitive cement industry. As market dynamics evolve, UltraTech’s proactive strategies and prudent investments are expected to drive continued success and shareholder value.
