Ultratech Cements Q4 Results: Profit rises by about 10%; board declares dividend of ₹77.50

Ultratech Cements reported a nearly 10% rise in fourth-quarter consolidated net profit of ₹2,482 crore, compared to the corresponding period last year. It reported a fourth-quarter revenue of ₹22,788 crore, a 14% increase from last year. The board of directors also recommended a dividend of ₹77.50 per share.

On a full-year basis, the company reported revenue of ₹74,936 crore, a 7.3% increase from last year. However, its full-year consolidated net profit declined 14% to ₹6,039 crore, primarily driven by the company's concerted efforts to add 42.60 MTPA of capacity through organic and inorganic growth in the year. Ultratech's energy costs were lower by 14% from the same period last year, largely due to declining fuel prices, which was ₹881/t in fourth quarter of 2025 compared to ₹1,025/t in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The company's total consolidated expenses jumped about 13% in the quarter to ₹18,445 crore, primarily driven by an increase in the cost of raw materials. Effective capacity utilisation was 89% during the quarter and 78% for the full year. UltraTech also said that its expansion program is progressing as per schedule.

UltraTech's domestic grey cement capacity has increased to 183.36 MTPA, on a consolidated basis. Together with its overseas capacity of 5.4 MTPA, the company's global capacity stands at 188.76 MTPA. "As part of its ongoing capacity expansion program, UltraTech commissioned 17.40 MTPA capacity across several locations in the country during FY25. It also set up its first bulk terminal in Uttar Pradesh at Lucknow with a capacity to handle 1.8 MTPA of cement," the company said.

"Given the government’s focus on infrastructure and housing projects—along with increased rural and urban demand—a sustainable volume growth of 7- 8% is expected, going forward. While the sector may face short-term challenges, the long-term outlook is indicating signs of improvement with stable demand likely to support growth," the company said in a statement.
