Operating EBITDA of Rs 3,682 lakh for Q4FY25 as against Rs 6,813 lakh during Q4FY24. Operating EBITDA of Rs 218 per ton during Q4FY25.

Managing Director, said: “Q4 saw a significant 23% (QoQ) increase in volume, as demand carried over from the previous quarter gained further traction due to a rebounding construction sector, real estate growth, and higher government spending. Prices as well after staying stable for large part of the quarter have started trending higher.” Our EBITDA for the quarter stood at Rs 37 crore, translating to a margin of 6%. On a per-ton basis, EBITDA stood at Rs 218. This improved operational profitability was primarily driven by enhanced operating leverage and a reduction in energy and freight expenses. Looking ahead, we anticipate further strengthening of our operational profitability and margins over the coming years. This positive trajectory will be supported by our strategic initiatives focused on increasing the contribution of green power, implementing cost optimization measures, and achieving higher capacity utilization across our facilities. For FY26 we believe we will be able to achieve sales volumes of ~ 6.0 to 6.3 million tonnes. In conclusion, we are confident that our strategic initiatives aimed at reducing freight costs – by shortening lead distances, lowering the clinker factor, modernizing our assets, and optimizing our energy sources – will be instrumental in generating sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders.
