Shree Cement reports ₹619 crore profit in Q1 FY26, up 95 percent year-on-year, driven by pricing, premium product mix, and operational discipline across India and UAE

 Shree Cement, India’s third-largest cement group by installed capacity, has reported a consolidated profit after tax of ₹619 crore for the quarter ending June 30, 2025, marking a 95 percent increase over the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Operating profit (EBITDA) stood at ₹1,229 crore, up by 34 percent year-on-year, while total revenue rose marginally to ₹4,948 crore from ₹4,835 crore.
The company attributed its improved performance to disciplined cost control, higher realisations, and a growing share of premium products, which reached 17.7 percent of trade sales in Q1, up from 15.6 percent in Q4 FY25. Cement sales volumes reached 89.5 lakh tonnes during the quarter.

Union Cement Company, Shree Cement’s UAE-based subsidiary, continued to deliver strong results. Revenue grew by 19 percent year-on-year to AED 181.19 million, while EBITDA rose sharply from AED 9.02 million to AED 44.86 million, up 397 percent. The company has announced plans to expand cement capacity by 3.0 million tonnes per annum in the UAE with an investment of AED 110 million.
The company reported that 65.65 percent of its total electricity consumption in Q1 FY26 came from renewable sources, supported by its 586 MW green power portfolio. During the quarter, it used 0.15 lakh tonnes of agro waste and 0.53 lakh tonnes of hazardous waste as alternative fuel sources, contributing to a fossil fuel offset of over 83 billion kilocalories and reducing carbon emissions.

Shree Cement has also maintained zero liquid discharge across all its manufacturing locations, with its water positivity index improving to over eight times. The NABL accreditation awarded to its Raipur lab further strengthens its quality standards, with international recognition of its testing protocols.
Shree Cement was recently awarded the “Most Sustainable Company in the Cement Sector” at the Business Today India Sustainability Awards 2025. It also received the State-Level Bhamashah Award 2025 from the Government of Rajasthan for its continued contributions to community education, with its Ras unit winning for the tenth consecutive year.

The company has expanded its ready-mix concrete footprint from 15 to 21 operational plants since the beginning of FY26 and plans to scale to 50 plants by the end of the fiscal year. Ongoing cement capacity expansion projects in Jaitaran, Rajasthan, and Kodla, Karnataka will raise the company’s installed capacity to 68.8 MTPA upon completion, with a goal of reaching 80 MTPA by 2028.
With projections of 6 to 7 percent industry growth in FY26, supported by government infrastructure spending and strong housing demand, Shree Cement remains optimistic about the operating environment. The company reaffirmed its focus on premiumisation, green transition, and operational discipline as key levers to drive sustainable profitability.
