World Cement,
Orient Cement recorded net profit of Rs.34 crore in the June quarter, an 8% decline y/y, but an increase of 31% from the previous quarter. Revenue was up 2% y/y at Rs.436 crore, though this marked a 4% decline from the previous quarter. The company has 5 million t of cement production capacity across two plants and reported capacity utilisation of 87% in the June quarter.
Results have been mixed across India for the April – June period, with India Cements and Ramco Cements reporting a drop, while Prism Cement and JK Lakshmi Cement reported an increase in profit.
The cement sector has been experiencing a slowdown in many regions of India, but with news this month of an improvement in core sector growth during June, expectations for the rest of the year are more optimistic.
