JK Cement Q1 revenue rises 20.3% to ₹4,031.7 crore as profit falls 14.5% to ₹277 crore
AI Market Summary
JK Cement's Q1 showed strong demand-led topline and volume growth, but profitability deteriorated as EBITDA fell and margins compressed on higher maintenance and packaging costs; net profit declined despite pricing actions and better white cement mix. The results highlight continued cost pressure risk in the cement sector even amid healthy volumes. Shares ended modestly lower, suggesting the miss on operating leverage outweighed revenue momentum.

JK Cement reported revenue from operations of ₹4,031.7 crore for the quarter ended June, up 20.3% year on year, supported by strong volume growth across grey and white cement. Operating performance weakened, with EBITDA down 5.8% and the EBITDA margin narrowing to 16.1% from 20.5%. Net profit fell 14.5% to ₹277 crore, which the company said was largely driven by higher maintenance and packaging costs despite price hikes and improved white cement volumes.
