Ramco Cements shares jump nearly 3% after Andhra Pradesh Govt clears quartzite mining approval

Aman Shukla — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 03:51:09 +0000

Shares of The Ramco Cements Limited climbed nearly 3% after the company received a key regulatory approval from the Government of Andhra Pradesh, strengthening its long-term raw material strategy and operational flexibility. As of 9:20 AM, the shares were trading 2.11% higher at Rs 1,079.00.

In a regulatory filing, Ramco Cements confirmed that it has received approval to include Quartzite mineral in its existing limestone mining lease. The approval was granted by the Industries & Commerce (M.II) Department, Government of Andhra Pradesh, and was formally received by the company on January 3, 2026.

Details of the Andhra Pradesh Mining Approval

The approval allows Ramco Cements to extract quartzite from its existing limestone mining lease located in Kalavataka and Kotapadu villages, Kolimigundla Mandal, Nandyal district, Andhra Pradesh. This inclusion expands the scope of minerals that can be mined under the same lease, without requiring a separate mining allocation.

According to the company, the quantum of mineable quartzite reserves is yet to be determined. However, the quartzite extracted is expected to be used primarily for manufactured sand (M-sand) and pozzolanic additives, both of which are widely used in the cement manufacturing process. The mineral may also be deployed for other industrial applications that could emerge in the future.

Why are Ramco Cements shares down over 3% today? Explained

Aman Shukla — Fri, 08 Aug 2025 04:03:40 +0000

Shares of Ramco Cements slipped nearly 3% in morning trade on Friday, August 8, after the company reported its financial results for the first quarter of FY26. While the bottom line showed a strong improvement, the market seemed less impressed by the overall revenue performance, triggering a decline in the stock price.

The company’s consolidated revenue for the quarter stood at ₹2,074.02 crore, slightly below the ₹2,093.55 crore recorded in the same period last year. This marks a 0.9% year-on-year decline, indicating a relatively flat top line. Despite this, Ramco Cements delivered a strong operating performance, with EBITDA rising 24% to ₹397.53 crore compared to ₹320.17 crore a year ago. Margins also improved notably, climbing to 19.2% from 15.3% in the previous year.

Net profit more than doubled to ₹85.03 crore, up from ₹37.16 crore in the same quarter last year—a 129% surge that suggests efficient cost management and improved profitability. However, this sharp improvement in earnings didn’t reflect in the stock price, which opened at ₹1,120.00 and fell to an intraday low of ₹1,086.50. The previous closing was at ₹1,136.90.

The stock has had a strong run over the past year, reaching a 52-week high of ₹1,209.00, while the 52-week low stands at ₹777.80.

The shares of Ramco Cements Ltd. were down by 7% at ₹849.60 per share against the previous close at ₹896.90 per share, in today’s early trade as the company reported a 59% decline in standalone profit in October-December to ₹83 crore on account of faltering demand.
