A conference call to discuss the Q1 FY27 results is scheduled for July 14, 2026.
Management has flagged a significant cost headwind of approximately Rs. 200/ton for Q1 FY27, driven by rising fuel, diesel, and packaging bag costs. To mitigate this, the company has implemented price increases of Rs. 8-12/bag in the trade channel and Rs. 10-15/bag in the non-trade channel, while aiming to increase alternative fuel resource (AFR) usage to 13-15% at the company level. With the Vadraj Cement integration moving toward trial runs in H1 FY27, the upcoming call will focus on the effectiveness of these price hikes and the sustainability of the 44% premiumization level achieved in previous quarters.
