JSW Cement posted a consolidated net profit of INR 1.61 billion for Apr-Jun, against a loss of INR 13.56 billion in the year-ago quarter. In the June 2025 quarter, the company had booked an exceptional loss of INR 14.66 billion due to valuation difference in the conversion value of compulsory convertible preference shares.

 

The company earned INR 18.96 billion in revenue from operations, up 22% from INR 15.60 billion a year ago. Analysts had estimated the company's revenue from operations at INR 18.13 billion.

 

The company's total expenses rose over 26% on year to INR 17.93 billion. Its largest expense – cost of materials consumed – which constitutes 25% of the company's total expenses, rose 23% on year to INR 4.44 billion. The second-largest expense – freight and handling expenses – rose 14% on year to INR 4.15 billion.

 

Its power and fuel expenses grew 44% on year to INR 3.05 billion. Its purchases of stock-in-trade rose 144% to INR 349 million. The company's employee benefits expense grew 20% to INR 977 million, while depreciation and amortisation costs rose 25% to INR 975 million. However, finance costs were down 5% at INR 974 million. 

 

JSW Cement announced on Thursday that it would raise INR 5 billion through non-convertible debentures on a private placement basis.  

 

The company reported an operating EBITDA of INR 2.99 billion, down 7% on year. Its total volume sold was 3.81 million tonnes, up 15% on year. The company's volume of cement sold was 2.34 million tonnes, up 27% on year and volume of ground granulated blast furnace slag sold was 1.33 billion, up 3% on year. The volume growth was supported by robust ramp-up of volumes in the north region, the company said in a press statement. 

 

The company made progress on installing waste heat recovery system, overland belt conveyer, and alternative fuels and raw materials co-processing systems at its Nagaur integrated unit in Rajasthan. It also installed an additional 1 million tonnes per annum of capacity at this cement plant. It has begun work on the additional 2.5 million tonnes per annum grinding unit at the Nagaur plant.

 

On Thursday, the company's shares ended at INR 131.08 apiece on the National Stock Exchange, up marginally from the closing price Wednesday. The company posted its financial results for the June quarter after market hours.  End
