According to Business Standard, the cement division maintained high capacity utilization of 98% in the June 2026 quarter and scaled up cement sales to 5.05 million tons. The company achieved cement revenue of ₹2,515.17 crore, up 7.4% YoY, benefiting from sustained gains in the trade segment across Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Rajasthan. However, cement demand remained muted with prices under pressure, requiring price hikes introduced in April-May to be rolled back in June amid intense competition.
As reported by Business Standard, the jute division faced significant challenges with production declining 27% YoY and 8% sequentially due to raw jute prices shooting to record highs and acute shortage. The division was forced to rationalize production by reducing working days, resulting in revenue of ₹131.25 crore for Q1 FY27, up 9.2% YoY. The company expects cement demand to remain muted until the end of monsoons in August, with meaningful recovery anticipated from September.
