Dalmia Bharat Limited reported a strong set of financial numbers for the third quarter, delivering sharp growth across profitability and operational metrics despite a challenging environment for the cement sector.
During the quarter, Dalmia Bharat’s consolidated net profit surged 94% year-on-year to ₹128 crore, compared with ₹66 crore in the corresponding period last year. The sharp rise in profit highlights the company’s ability to expand margins even amid fluctuating input costs and competitive pricing pressures in the cement market.
Revenue from operations also recorded healthy growth, rising 10.2% year-on-year to ₹3,506 crore from ₹3,181 crore in Q3 of the previous financial year. The increase in revenue was supported by stable volumes and better realisations, driven by demand from infrastructure and housing segments.
Operational performance remained robust, with EBITDA climbing 17.8% year-on-year to ₹602 crore, up from ₹511 crore in the year-ago quarter. The stronger EBITDA growth compared to revenue indicates improved cost efficiencies and disciplined expense control. As a result, EBITDA margin expanded to 17.2%, compared with 16% in the same quarter last year.
