Nuvoco commissions Surat grinding unit

Nuvoco Vistas Corp. has announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, reporting growth in volumes, earnings and profitability while advancing its expansion plans in western India.

The company inaugurated a 2-million-tonnes-per-annum (MTPA) grinding unit at its Limla Cement Plant in Surat on July 11, 2026, ahead of schedule. The facility, part of the Vadraj Cement assets, is expected to strengthen Nuvoco's presence in western India while freeing up capacity at its Rajasthan plants to cater to demand in northern markets.

Progress at the Kutch project remains on track, with phased commissioning scheduled to begin in the third quarter of FY27. The company has also commenced work on a bulk cement terminal at Viramgam, Sachana, Gujarat, featuring a dedicated railway siding. The terminal is expected to become operational by the second quarter of FY28 and will support distribution across Gujarat. These projects form part of Nuvoco's capacity expansion programme, which is expected to increase its total cement capacity to 35 MTPA by FY28.

During Q1 FY27, the company recorded cement sales volumes of 5.3 million tonnes, up 5 per cent year-on-year. Consolidated total income rose 9 per cent to Rs 31.29 billion, while EBITDA increased 7 per cent to Rs 5.72 billion, marking the company's highest-ever first-quarter EBITDA. Profit after tax grew 20 per cent year-on-year to Rs 1.60 billion.

Commenting on the results, Jayakumar Krishnaswamy, Managing Director, Nuvoco Vistas Corp., said the company delivered improved business performance despite macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges. He attributed the results to disciplined execution, cost optimisation and operational efficiencies, while highlighting the early commissioning of the Surat grinding unit as a key milestone in the company's expansion strategy.

He added that the company remains focused on prudent procurement, supply chain efficiency and cost discipline while monitoring geopolitical developments that could affect industry supply chains and input costs.
