India Cements Ltd announced its consolidated financial results for Q4 FY24-25, reporting a revenue from operations of ₹1,197.30 crore, a 3.9% decline from ₹1,245.38 crore in Q4 FY24. The company posted a widened net loss of ₹74.66 crore compared to a net loss of ₹29.33 crore a year ago.

Net Profit/(Loss) (PAT): ₹(74.66) Cr vs ₹(29.33) Cr YoY
EPS (Basic & Diluted): ₹(2.41) vs ₹(0.88)
In Q4 FY24-25, India Cements experienced a drop in revenues and further margin erosion mainly due to higher power, fuel, and freight costs. Increased finance costs and depreciation charges also contributed to the overall losses.

Power and Fuel: ₹475.37 Cr
Freight and Forwarding Expenses: ₹243.30 Cr

The company’s results were weaker than sector expectations, with sharp cost pressures and subdued pricing affecting profitability. Cement sector players faced margin stress across the board, but India Cements reported steeper losses.
K.C. Jhanwar, Director, commented, "Our performance during the quarter was impacted by higher energy costs and lower realizations. We are taking strategic initiatives to optimize operations, rationalize costs, and focus on improving margins going forward."
