"Our long-term competitiveness remains robust, ensuring industry-leading profitability even as we chase our ambitious growth goals. With a firm belief in strategic approach, we are poised to continue our trajectory of outstanding performance in the forthcoming quarters," he adds.

The company says in its outlook that the cement industry is in a positive cycle of demand as well as cost factors. "This is coming at the most appropriate time when the company is under the transformation phase, buoyed by synergies with the group. We expect the positive trend of the industry to continue in the coming quarter," says the company.

"A growing housing sector, which typically accounts for 60%-65% of India's cement consumption, will remain a key demand driver. Also, continued large investments in roads and infrastructure projects will fuel cement demand," Moody's says.
