Kesoram Industries Ltd, a maker of cement, is still fighting to get out of trouble and plans to expand operations and refinance its expensive debt in order to turn a profit.

It reported a net loss of 1150 million in FY'23 and 1300 million in FY'22.

Speaking on the sidelines of the 104th AGM, Kesoram's full-time director and CEO P Radhakrishnan stated that the firm was focusing its efforts on scaling up operations and that it planned to sell 8 million tonnes of cement in the current fiscal year, up from 7.02 million tonnes in FY'23.
