UltraTech Cement Q2 net profit rises 21% to Rs 1,494 crore
In short
UltraTech Cement said its Q2 net profit rose 21% year on year to Rs 1,494 crore in the September quarter. Revenue also grew 19% to Rs 23,295 crore, and domestic grey-cement volumes increased to 35.94 million tonnes.
This matters because higher sales and volume growth point to stronger demand, but the reports also say profit fell sharply from the previous quarter. The reason for the exact gap between reported profit figures is not stated clearly in the available reporting.
What the reporting says
UltraTech Cement reported a 21% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit for the September quarter, with revenue up 19% to Rs 23,295 crore. The company also said domestic grey-cement volumes grew about 14% to 35.94 million tonnes, and PBIDT increased to Rs 3,832 crore. The reporting does not clearly resolve the profit figure discrepancy between syndicated summaries, and it notes weaker sequential performance.
Why it matters
UltraTech Cement reported September-quarter results showing higher sales, stronger domestic grey-cement volumes and a year-on-year profit increase. The figures cited across publisher summaries point to revenue of Rs 23,295 crore and PBIDT of Rs 3,832 crore, while net profit is reported as Rs 1,494 crore or Rs 1,501 crore. The reports also say profit declined sequentially, with monsoon-related disruptions and the West Asia crisis mentioned as pressure points.
