India Cements Limited reported its consolidated unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 (Q1 FY26), showing muted revenue growth and a widening net loss.
For Q1 FY26, the company posted a total income of ₹1,033.85 crore, marginally down from ₹1,042.27 crore in the same quarter last year, indicating a ~0.8% decline YoY.
Expenses for the quarter stood at ₹1,042.19 crore, slightly lower than ₹1,190.24 crore in Q1 FY25, but higher than the revenue, which contributed to the loss.
On the bottom line, the company reported a net loss of ₹131.36 crore, compared to a net profit of ₹71.33 crore in the year-ago period.
Key figures (Q1 FY26 vs Q1 FY25):
-
Total Income: ₹1,033.85 crore (vs ₹1,042.27 crore)
-
Expenses: ₹1,042.19 crore (vs ₹1,190.24 crore)
-
Net Loss: ₹131.36 crore (vs net profit of ₹71.33 crore)
-
Exceptional Items (Credit): ₹123.77 crore (vs ₹240.68 crore last year)
Despite the exceptional income recorded during the quarter, it was not sufficient to offset operational losses and high expenses.
India Cements continues to face cost pressures, particularly in power, fuel, and finance costs, which remained significant contributors to the overall expenditure.
The results reflect ongoing challenges in the cement sector, with subdued demand and rising costs impacting profitability.
