Consolidated net sales rose 16% to Rs 24,465 crore during the quarter from Rs 21,040 crore a year earlier. Profit before interest, depreciation and tax (PBIDT) increased to Rs 5,146 crore from Rs 4,591 crore in the year-ago period.

UltraTech said the turnaround at India Cements gathered pace during the quarter, with the company reporting a normalised profit after tax of Rs 52 crore in Q1 FY27 against a net loss of Rs 183 crore in Q1 FY25. The improvement was supported by an 18.5% increase in sales volumes.
Domestic cement sales volumes grew 13.1% year-on-year to 39.2 million tonnes during the quarter. Capacity utilisation stood at 81% on an installed domestic grey cement capacity of 200.1 million tonnes per annum (MTPA), reflecting demand from housing, infrastructure and commercial construction.
Operating EBITDA per tonne improved to Rs 1,214 from Rs 1,198 in the corresponding quarter last year, supported by continued focus on cost optimisation and operational efficiencies.
UltraTech said its manufacturing platform strengthened further after crossing 200. 1 MTPA of domestic grey cement capacity and 205.5 MTPA of global capacity, including international operations, in April 2026. The company said its expansion strategy remains focused on a mix of greenfield projects, brownfield expansions and debottlenecking initiatives to improve market reach and logistics efficiency.
On sustainability, UltraTech commissioned 20 MW of Waste Heat Recovery System (WHRS) capacity during the quarter, taking its total installed WHRS capacity to 434 MW. Along with 1.4 GW of renewable energy capacity, the company’s green power mix reached 47% at the end of the quarter.
The company also expanded the deployment of electric heavy-duty trucks for mining operations and clinker transportation as part of its green logistics initiative.
UltraTech said it has been recognised as a member of the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2026 for the Construction Materials sector, reflecting its progress in sustainability and responsible growth.
