Due to the heavy monsoon, cement demand in eastern markets was affected during the current quarter. Also in the Southern market, due to weekend lockouts and heavy monsoons in the current quarter, cement demand in Kerala has slowed.

The current quarter's average increase in diesel prices of 20% has increased inbound/outbound logistics costs. The cost of power and fuel per tonne of cement in Q2 increased to Rs 1057 from Rs 823 in the previous quarter.

On September 21, the spot market price of pet coke increased to $250 CIF, and the price of imported coal from Australia increased to $220.

Ramco Cements also plans to expand its dry mix product capacity in Tamil Nadu, Odisha, and Andhra Pradesh for a total investment of Rs 160 crore to produce high-value products such as waterproofing, repair products, and flooring screeds, as well as other dry-mix products.

The company spent Rs 902 crore on capital expenditure between April 21 and September 21, including for the aforementioned ongoing capacity expansion programme.
