Birla Corporation Limited June quarter
cement sales up 5%, revenue up 7%
Cement sales by volume at 5.05 mt, up 5% year-on-year
Premium cement sales by volume up 18%
Sales through trade channel up 11%
Capacity utilization at 98%
Kolkata, 25 July: Maintaining high capacity utilization of 98%, Birla Corporation
Limited scaled up cement sales in the June quarter to 5.05 million tons (mt), thanks
to sustained gains in the trade segment in States such as Maharashtra, Uttar
Pradesh, Bihar and Rajasthan.
The Company’s revenue for the quarter at Rs2,669 crore represents a 7% growth
over the same period last year, while net profit at Rs116 crore reflects subdued
realization from cement sales and escalation in power and fuel cost.

Cement demand grew moderately in the June quarter, gaining momentum from
the second-half of May, thanks largely to Government spending on infrastructure.
But cement prices remained under pressure: price hikes introduced in April-May
had to be rolled back in June amid intense competition for market share.
Sales from Kundanganj and Mukutban units of RCCPL Private Limited, wholly-
owned material subsidiary of the Company, rose 26% and 12%, respectively,
compared to the same period last year.
Under its sustained strategy, the Company continued to expand sales of its blended
and premium products. Eco-friendly blended cement accounted for 88% of cement
sales during the quarter, registering a volume growth of 5%. Sales of premium
products grew 18% year-on-year (yoy), led by the flagship brand, Perfect Plus,
which, on its own, grew 24%.
Realization from cement sales for the quarter was at Rs 4,947 per ton, up almost 2%
yoy, but EBITDA per ton was 6% lower at Rs 675. This was largely on account of a
5% increase in power and fuel cost. The Cement Division’s EBITDA margin for the
quarter was at 13.6%, down 110 basis points from the same period last year.
To offset the increase in power and fuel cost, the Company scaled up its
consumption of green power to 33% for the quarter from 31% at the end of the last
fiscal year. This is going to be further enhanced within the current financial year as
the Company has commissioned a 5-MW solar power plant at Mukutban, which is
expected to reduce carbon dioxide emission by an estimated 5,000 tons a year.
Alongside, Birla Jute Mills is ramping up its solar power generation capacity to 2.6
MW from 2.1 MW.
Q1/FY Q1/FY 25-
26-27 26 Change
Sales (by volume) (Mn
Ton) 5.05 4.79 5.4%
Capacity utilisation 98% 99% -1.4%
Blended cement 88% 89% -1.0%
Trade channel 82% 78% 4.0%
Premium cement 62% 59% 3.0%
Going forward, cement demand is expected to remain muted until the end of the
monsoons in August and recover from September, boosted by Government
spending and construction activities in the private sector.
Even with energy prices edging upward, further price hikes have been deferred till
the end of monsoons, and it is expected that realization will remain weak in the
near term. Given the capacity overhang and intense competition among
manufacturers, meaningful recovery in cement prices could be expected only in the
December quarter.
Jute Division: Birla Jute Mills faced another challenging quarter with raw jute prices
shooting to a record high. Coupled with acute shortage, disruption in supply of raw
jute forced the division to rationalize production by reducing working days.
Consequently, production during the quarter declined 27% yoy and 8%
sequentially. Still, the division reported a cash profit of Rs 4.28 crore against Rs 6.41
crore in the same period last year, as domestic sales (by revenue) increased 18% yoy,
and overseas sales, 13% yoy.
Birla Corporation Limited is the flagship Company of the MP Birla Group.
Incorporated as Birla Jute Manufacturing Company Limited in 1919, it was given
shape by Syt MP Birla. The Company has interest in cement and jute goods. Its Birla
Jute Mills is the first jute mill started by an Indian entrepreneur. The Company and
its subsidiary, RCCPL Pvt Ltd, have 10 cement plants in eight locations across the
country, with an annual installed capacity of 21.4 million tons. The Company
produces an array of cement products, under the MP Birla Cement brand, suited to
different climatic conditions as well as consumer segments. It also sells
construction chemicals and wall putty.
