UltraTech Cement delivered its highest-ever first-quarter performance in Q1 FY27, with consolidated net sales rising 16% to ₹24,465 crore and PAT growing 17% to ₹2,604 crore, announced July 20, 2026. Domestic grey cement volumes grew 13.1% to 39.2 million tonnes, with overall consolidated volumes at 41.31 million tonnes — 12.2% above the year-ago quarter. Capacity utilisation stood at 81% on a 200.1 MTPA installed base in India, which the company crossed in April 2026. EBITDA per tonne held firm above ₹1,200, underscoring cost discipline despite volatile global fuel prices. The company confirmed its entry into the wires and cables market in Q3 FY27, with ₹888 crore of the planned ₹1,800 crore investment already committed — regulatory certifications secured and warehouse networks in place. Management flagged ₹130–140 per tonne cost pressure in Q2 FY27 due to monsoon seasonality and continued West Asia-driven fuel volatility.
What this means for the trade: Record Q1 cement volumes confirm construction demand remains robust despite seasonal headwinds — strong context for dealers stocking cement alongside tiles and adhesives when discussing market confidence with builders and contractors.
