Sreekanth Reddy, the joint managing director of the company, said, “We have started the year on a strong note, as can be seen from our financials. Volumes for the quarter grew by 11% on a Y-o-Y basis, driven by pickup in government spending, the construction sector, and the housing sector. In addition to higher volumes, the quarterly performance was also aided by a better pricing environment. The combination of which resulted in revenue growth of 20% (Y-o-Y) for the quarter.
Our modernization plans at the Andhra Cements Dachepalli unit are progressing as per schedule. We are confident of achieving our target volume of approximately 6 MnT in FY26. The Board of one of the subsidiaries, Sagar Cements (M), has given approval to take up the expansion of cement grinding capacity from 1 MTPA to 1.5 MTPA and, as part of green energy initiatives, to establish a 6 MW solar power plant, involving a capex of around Rs 140 crore.
In conclusion, we believe our enhanced capacities position us strongly to capitalize on the growing demand from the infrastructure and real estate sectors in the coming years. Additionally, our continued focus on diversifying revenue streams and expanding our regional presence is expected to further strengthen the company’s overall profitability profile.”
