UltraTech Cement’s Q2 consolidated net profit rises 21%

The company has reported a 25.18% rise in its standalone net profit at Rs 1,331.78 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, as compared to Rs 1,063.85 crore for the same quarter in the previous year. Total income increased by 23.72% to Rs 22,192.25 crore for Q2FY27 as compared to Rs 17,937.07 crore for the corresponding quarter of the previous year. On a consolidated basis, the company has reported a 21.29% rise in its net profit at Rs 1,493.77 crore for Q2FY27, as compared to Rs 1,231.58 crore for the same quarter in the previous year. Total income increased by 18.44% to Rs 23,405.96 crore for Q2FY27 as compared to Rs 19,761.07 crore for the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Outlook: - Strong yearly demand kept the building material sector on track, but quarterly profits slid 42.5% from Q1 FY27 Rs. 2,599 crore as heavy monsoons and high input costs weighed on earnings. - Reaching 35.94 million tonnes after a 13.8% year-over-year increase, the volume easily outpaced the wider industry's projected 10% growth rate. - The company boosted its domestic grey cement capacity to 204.7 mtpa by commissioning a new 3.6 mtpa greenfield integrated plant in Petnikota, Andhra Pradesh. Backed by a rise in captive utilization from 66% to 71%, this move keeps the company on track to hit its goal of 240+ mtpa by March 2028.
