Moderator: Ladies and gentlemen, good day, and welcome to the UltraTech Cement Limited Q1 FY27
Earnings Conference Call. As a reminder, all participant lines will be in the listen-only mode
and there will be an opportunity for you to ask questions after the presentation concludes. Should
you need assistance during the call, please signal an operator by pressing star then zero on your
touchstone phone.
I now hand the conference over to CFO, Mr. Atul Daga. Thank you, and over to you, sir.
Atul Daga: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and a very warm welcome to this Earnings Call. The one
big theme for us quarter after quarter is demand. If the demand is good, everything falls in line,
and I'm delighted to report that the first quarter of fiscal '27 has reaffirmed that conviction
emphatically. The quarter began with the shadows of West Asia conflict, ended with a de-
escalation and now we know where we are. Situation is still fluid. But with a double-digit volume
growth and a demand pipeline across infrastructure, housing and urban real estate is as rich as it
can be.
UltraTech has kicked off fiscal '27 with a very strong capacity base ready to serve the country,
and we intend to grow like a challenger and not an incumbent. India's macroeconomic engines
continue to demonstrate remarkable resilience. Even as global energy markets endured one of
the most disruptive supply cycles, India's domestic consumption and investment flywheel kept
turning. The Indian government is managing and planning its strategies supporting the industry
at large in the country. Benchmark lending rates have remained attractive, improving housing
affordability and lowering the cost of capital for infrastructure developers like us. There are
near-term data points we watch very candidly. Coal sector growth slowing down in the month
of May, lower coal and refinery output and aggregate state capex in April, May growing a
modest 2% year-on-year. These are, I believe, timing effect and not any change in trends.
To give you a perspective of what is being announced and executed across the country because
that is tomorrow's cement demand. First and foremost, if I were to call out, Maharashtra is
planning a INR20,000 crores greenfield shipbuilding cluster anchored around Mazagaon Dock.
Odisha has announced a deep seaport at a place called Ganjam, shipbuilding cluster at Paradip
with investment of over INR50,000 crores. Tamil Nadu has signed ~INR18,000 crores MoU for
data centres and shipbuilding projects. Ports, shipyards, data centres are among the most cement-
intensive asset classes in the economy. The Cabinet has approved ~INR20,000 crores plus
Ahmedabad-Dholera semi high-speed rail corridor. Metro programs continue to expand across
Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune and Uttar Pradesh. There is additional ~INR30,000
crores infusion into NIIF with private capital across roads, ports and urban infrastructure. India's
capex revival is also being propelled by power and data centres, both concrete hungry sectors.
Housing and urban real estate, roughly 55% to 60% of India cement consumption has a very
strong start to calendar '26. Mumbai, the heart of construction activity in India, property
registrations grew about 6%. Across India's top 8 cities, Q1FY26 saw a very big growth in the
number of units sold as per the data available from registry records. Prices have remained strong
for the real estate market, which means it's a structurally mature end user-driven market where

the absorption is keeping pace with supply. Bangalore stood out on the strength of GCC and
technology sector employment. Redevelopment space is equally significant for cement industry.
Mumbai's Slum Rehabilitation Authority is set to redevelop about 850 acres of land. Developers
are still land banking aggressively. Private sector real estate companies continue to acquire land
parcels in various cities across the country. Commercial real estate is not getting left behind.
India's grade A office market opened up with a very strong first quarter, I understand. Net-net,
premium housing, redevelopment, office towers, hotels, this is urban India building upwards and
outwards simultaneously and every square foot of it is built on cement. That gives us the
confidence for cement demand growth.
Let me now turn to our own scorecard. Q1 was the highest ever first quarter performance for
UltraTech across volumes, revenues, EBITDA and profit. In volumes, you've seen our
presentation, we grew about 13.1% in volume terms for the domestic markets. Capacity
utilization was stronger at 81% as compared to 76%, EBITDA of INR5,146 crores and PAT of
INR2,604 crores which was up 17.2% over the last year same period. Interestingly, I'm very
proud to tell you, we have converted the Kesoram and India Cements brands to 100% UltraTech.
They were operating in B or C category space. We did not vacate that space. Post brand
conversion, the true performance of UltraTech is visible. In fact, if you look at the brand growth,
the brand has grown 21.3% over the same period last year. Our team has been successful in
converting the customers who were buying a B or C category brand of cement into a A category
brand of cement willing to pay a price premium.
Our domestic grey cement volumes growth of 13.1%, I believe will be well ahead of industry's
growth, translating directly into market share gains. Capacity utilization of 81% in a seasonally
transitioning quarter on an enlarged 200-million-ton base speaks to the depth of our demand
pipeline. This is the mo
