ultratech Cement, a part of the Aditya Birla Group, announced a consolidated net profit of ₹1,725.40 crore for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 (Q3FY26),a 26.92 percent increase year-over-year. This result exceeded analysts’ expectations of ₹1,526 crore.
Revenue Growth and Sales Volume
UltraTech’s revenue from operations increased by 22.78 percent annually, reaching ₹21,829.68 crore, surpassing Bloomberg analysts’ estimates of ₹20,953 crore. This growth was primarily fueled by a 15 percent year-over-year increase in sales volume, which totaled 38.87 million tonnes (MT).
impact of GST and competitive Pricing
Despite the strong sales volume, realizations-the effective price received per unit-decreased by 0.4 percent year-over-year and 3.3 percent quarter-over-quarter. This decline stemmed from lower prices following reductions in the Goods and Services Tax (GST). Cement prices fell 7 percent year-over-year and 9 percent quarter-over-quarter in Q3FY26, attributed to both GST rationalization and increased competition within the industry.
