The Company continues to pursue its strategy of matching the right products to the right applications, strengthening its brand equity. EBITDA for Q1 FY27 is Rs.314 crores as against Rs.404 crores during Q1 FY26 reflecting a decline of 22%, on account of increased costs of fuel and packing materials due to West Asia War coupled with drop in realisation by 5% YoY.

COST The levy of mineral bearing land tax of Rs.160 per ton of limestone in Tamil Nadu, effective from April 2025, translated into a variable cost impact of Rs.39 crores (equivalent to Rs.84 per ton of cement) for the Company in Q1 FY27. It may be noted that Tamil Nadu is the only state which has imposed such a huge levy. The Company, along with other cement companies, has represented to the Tamil Nadu Government for a reduction in the levy, which is under consideration.

Page 1 The power and fuel cost per ton of cement for Q1 FY27 has increased to Rs.1,326/ compared to Rs.1,222/- in Q1 FY26.
