With this, I will hand over the call to Mr. Nilesh Narwekar for his opening remarks. Over to
you, sir.
Nilesh Narwekar: Thank you Kunal, and good morning to all. FY27 has started off on a strong note for the
company despite the ongoing uncertainty around the West Asia crisis and the impact of state
elections held early in the quarter. As per our reading, cement demand in South, West, and
East regions grew approximately 6% Y-o-Y in quarter one FY27.
The North region, where we started sales in this quarter, saw substantially higher demand
growth of approximately 11% Y-o-Y. Government capex did much of the heavy lifting in the

quarter. Central capex grew by 24% Y-o-Y, and data indicates that 28% of the FY27 capex
budget has already been utilized in quarter one. Similarly, state capex and infra construction
goods output continue to grow Y-o-Y.
We are seeing very strong demand outlook on the infra and large project side for the rest of the
year, which will support our non-trade cement and the GGBS business. Just to give a few
examples of large projects in our regions: in MMR, we see pace picking up in the bullet train
project - the Maharashtra packages, and the Western Coastal Road project at Mumbai will also
gather pace post monsoons. Road-related works are expected to pick up speed too.
In Pune, I would like to highlight the Pune Ring Road project and various new elevated road
packages. There are also a few new metro projects planned in Pune. In South region,
Amaravati new capital development project at AP is gaining speed. The NPCIL nuclear power
plant expansion in North Karnataka and several large road packages in Chennai and Kerala are
expected to generate substantial demand.
On the residential front, we are seeing strong residential activity in Pune, Hyderabad, and
Bangalore, and most of you will be aware of the substantial residential redevelopment
happening in Mumbai and suburbs. Finally, on the macro front, we continue to monitor the
external environment, which remains volatile. As fuel prices remain elevated, we are
increasing our share of domestic fuel for the rest of the year.
Moving to the key operational highlights for quarter 1 FY27. Firstly, on volumes, our total
sales volume in quarter 1 FY27 increased by 15% Y-o-Y to 3.81 million tons. Taking this
product-wise, cement volumes sold was 2.34 million tons, increased 27% Y-o-Y. For ease of
comparison, if we exclude the North operations, the volume increase was 8% Y-o-Y. As we
had flagged in our quarter four call, demand in April and early parts of May was affected due
to labor migration and state elections, but we saw a strong rebound in the month of June. We
would also like to touch upon the contribution from the North region. The market reception
has been very positive so far, with an average utilization level of 55% in quarter one. The
utilization rate touched almost 68% in June ‘26.
GGBS volume growth was relatively muted at 2.6% Y-o-Y. However, we are optimistic on the
prospects for GGBS for the rest of the year. We have received approvals for over 29 large infra
projects in Q1, and moreover, the project pipeline is also robust as mentioned earlier.
Moving to product ASP, cement realization for quarter one FY27 was INR4,951 per ton,
increase of 6% Q-o-Q, with the highest increase in East region followed by South and West.
GGBS realization in quarter one FY27 was INR3,807 per ton, increase of 3.4% quarter-on-
quarter. Within cement, trade mix remains stable at 51%. Our clinker to cement factor
increased to 55% with the launch of North operations, but remains one of the lowest in the
industry. Lead distance remains stable in the quarter too.
I would also like to briefly touch on the capacity expansion program. Substantial progress has
been made on installation o
