Most companies posted a double digit growth in volumes, led by Ambuja (16.5%), Ultratech (15.3%), JK Cement (14.3%) and Sagar Cements (11.5%) on the back of a demand rebound. Shree Cement’s volumes declined by 7.2% due to geopolitical tensions in the northern region while Dalmia Bharat(-5.4%) was impacted by the discontinuation of tolling volumes from Jaypee, and Ramco Cements (-6.8%) was hit by the early arrival of monsoon.

Systematix Report

Despite near term seasonal slowdown, the cement sector is bound to showcase a recovery in the second half of the year led by robust demand in infrastructure, and urban housing, benign input prices and increasing thrust on green power.

As most of the consolidation is over, we foresee a strong revival in prices and a 7-8% volume growth for H2 FY26.
