- Gross profit was Rs.2.52 crore in October – December 2013, down from Rs.12.08 crore in July – September 2013 and Rs.6.61 crore in April – June 2013.
- Net loss stood at Rs.8.39 crore in October – December 2013, up from Rs.1.15 crore in July – September 2013 and Rs.4.69 in April – June 2013.
Sagar Cements attributed the fall in sales and profit to decreased demand for cement as a result of a decline in activity in the Indian infrastructure and housing sectors. The company has attempted to decrease its production costs by sourcing domestically produced coal rather than importing it.
