UltraTech Cement on Saturday reported a consolidated net profit of ₹1,237.98 crore in the September quarter of FY26.
It had posted a net profit of ₹707.96 crore in the July-September period a year ago, the flagship company of the Aditya Birla group said in a regulatory filing.
Its operating revenue stood at ₹19,606.93 crore in the last second quarter ended September. A year earlier, it stood at ₹16,294.42 crore.
The company said its results “for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025 are not comparable to the previous corresponding period” due to the acquisition of southern-based India Cements Ltd, Wonder WallCare and Ras Al Khaimah, UAE-based RAKWCT.
In addition, the plan for the merger of Kesoram Industries’ cement business with UltraTech and their respective shareholders and creditors was also effective from March 1, 2025.
UltraTech’s total revenues, including other income, stood at ₹19,781.07 crore in the September quarter.
In the September quarter, UltraTech’s consolidated sales volume increased 6.9 percent to 33.85 tonnes.
“UltraTech achieved 22.3 per cent growth in domestic gray cement without taking into account the sales volumes of India Cements and Kesoram in the previous year as they were not part of UltraTech during the period,” said an earnings statement from the Aditya Birla Group firm.
This growth has exceeded the expected industrial growth of around 5 percent for the same period, it added.
UltraTech’s total expenses in the September quarter were ₹18,119.56 crore.
“Energy costs were 7 percent lower year-on-year, while raw material costs increased by 5 percent due to an increase in fly ash and slag costs. Operating EBITDA per tonne for the existing UltraTech assets of 166.76 tonnes per annum is ₹966 per tonne,” said India Cements, a south India-based cement maker, which acquired it earlier this year, and Kesoram generated an operating EBITDA of ₹386 per tonne and ₹755 per tonne respectively.
“Both acquisitions are improving rapidly, with 55 percent of Kesoram volumes and 31 percent of India Cements volumes already converted to the strength of the UltraTech brand,” the company said.
In the first half of the financial year (H1/FY26), UltraTech’s total revenues were ₹41,238.75 crore.
The company further said that it has passed on the full benefit of excise duty reduction to its customers under the government’s GST reforms.
