The Company has seen a loss in volume in June due to the Biparjoy cyclone. Cost pressures continued during this quarter as the lower fuel price benefit will flow in subsequent quarters. The board has also approved a plan to increase the cement capacity of the company to 3 million tons per annum at a capex of approximately Rs 250 crore. The additional capacity is expected to be available from Oct 24." Rajeev Nambiar, Managing Director of the Company said, "During the quarter, SDCC has brought 15% YoY growth in sales volume. We are constantly exploring new ways to optimise our operational costs such as better use of alternate fuel, improving the share of blended cement, optimising power cost through hybrid power, and enhancing the overall reliability of the plant. Combined with operational excellence and softening in commodity prices, we are poised to deliver greater values." Result PDF
