MUMBAI – Star Cement Ltd. reported a sharp fall in its consolidated net profit for the June quarter due to an increase in cost of materials consumed, higher power and fuel expenses, and an increase in outward carriage expense on finished goods.

The company's consolidated revenue from operations for the June quarter came in at INR 9.43 billion, up more than 3% on year, and was largely in line with the analysts' expectations of INR 9.35 billion. Sequentially, the company's top line was down 20%. The company's other income rose to INR 82 million from INR 17.93 million. Total income rose 4% to INR 9.5 billion.

 

Total expenses for the quarter under review rose 10% on year to INR 8.5 billion. Power and fuel expenses rose 7% on year to INR 1.5 billion. The carriage outward expense on finished goods rose 8% on year to INR 1.7 billion and the cost of materials consumed grew 21% to INR 1.32 billion.
