Recent capacity expansion includes 2 MTPA added at Ariyalur and Kolimigundla cement increased to 3 MTPA, targeting FY27 capacities of 31.14 MTPA cement.

Cyborg Score Rationale

Q3FY26 sales volume rose 5% YoY and prices up 1% YoY, showing growth momentum. However, limestone tax raised raw material costs by ₹47 Cr in Q3, and EBITDA margin declined to 13.4% from 14.2% YoY, indicating margin pressure. Recent analyst downgrades and high valuation concerns suggest cautious sentiment.
