27 May 2025 CW Team

The Ramco Cements Limited reported a profit after tax of Rs 417 million in financial year 2025 (FY25), compared to Rs 395 million in FY24. Revenue fell 9 per cent to Rs 85.39 billion, driven by a 10 per cent year-on-year drop in cement prices. EBITDA stood at Rs 12.76 billion, down 20 per cent, while EBITDA per ton declined to Rs 690. Cement volumes rose marginally to 18.5 million tons.

Cement capacity utilisation fell to 77 per cent due to a 1.3 million tons per annum capacity increase. Fuel and power costs per ton reduced significantly, and green energy usage rose from 34 per cent to 36 per cent. Clinker conversion efficiency improved from 1.30 to 1.42.

The company incurred Rs 10.24 billion in capital expenditure, with a Rs 12 billion plan for FY26. Net debt was reduced by Rs 3.40 billion to Rs 44.81 billion. A dividend of Rs two per share was proposed.

Outlook for FY26 is positive, with projected gross domestic product (GDP) growth between 6.3 and 6.8 per cent. However, a new Rs 160 per ton limestone tax in Tamil Nadu may impact costs unless industry appeals for relief are accepted.
