UltraTech

UltraTech Cement Limited, part of the Aditya Birla Group, has announced its financial results for the quarter ending June 30, 2025. Consolidated net sales reached ₹21,040 crores, up from ₹18,626 crores during the same period last year. The company’s profit before interest, depreciation, and tax (EBIDTA) grew by 44% to ₹4,591 crores, while net profit surged 49%, reaching ₹2,226 crores.

UltraTech’s consolidated sales volumes for the quarter touched 36.83 million metric tons, a 9.7% increase, driven by acquisitions, including The India Cements Limited and the cement business of Kesoram Industries Limited. Energy costs decreased by 12% year-over-year, largely due to falling fuel prices, while raw material costs rose slightly by 2%.

On December 25, 2024, India Cements, with a capacity of 14.45 million tons per annum (mtpa), became a subsidiary of UltraTech. The company has successfully reversed the performance of these assets, generating an EBIDTA of ₹92 crores, compared to a loss of ₹9 crores last year. Through operational improvements, UltraTech has unlocked an additional 0.3 mtpa capacity in the northern region. Over the next two years, a capital expenditure plan is being drawn up to upgrade operations to UltraTech’s standards.

UltraTech ranked 9th in the Global Sectoral Ranking of the S&P Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for 2024, making it the highest-ranked Indian cement company. This is the fourth consecutive year the company has been placed in the top 10 within the Construction Materials sector. UltraTech remains committed to environmental sustainability and has recently increased its Waste Heat Recovery System (WHRS) capacity to 363 MW, with a green power share of 39.5% in its energy mix.

UltraTech’s ongoing expansion program continues to meet the growing demand for cement. During Q1 FY26, the company successfully implemented several debottlenecking and efficiency enhancement projects at various locations. UltraTech has added 3.5 million tons per annum (mtpa) to its grey cement capacity, bringing the total capacity to 192.26 mtpa.

UltraTech Cement is the cement flagship of the Aditya Birla Group. With a capacity of 192.26 mtpa in grey cement and 2.7 mtpa in white cement/putty, it is the third-largest cement producer globally, outside of China. The company is committed to sustainability, aligning with the GCCA’s Climate Ambition 2050 and the Net Zero Concrete Roadmap.
