Quarter read
What the record says.
JK Cement delivered a strong Q3 FY26 with consolidated net sales of ₹3,383 crore, up 20% YoY, driven by robust volume growth of 23% YoY in grey cement and 13% YoY in white cement. EBITDA grew 13.4% YoY to ₹558 crore, though margins compressed due to lower incentives (₹60 crore vs ₹86 crore in Q2) and higher non-trade mix. Management highlighted strong demand momentum, expecting March quarter to be one of the best ever, with industry growth of 6-7% YoY. Key expansions remain on track: the 6MTPA central India project is nearly complete, and the Jaisalmer greenfield project is progressing for September 2027 commissioning. The paint business is on path to breakeven in FY27. Risks include potential pricing pressure from capacity additions in the north and the impact of new labor code costs (₹48 crore exceptional charge).
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management expects volume growth in the early teens (12-15%) for FY27, reaching 22.5-23 million tons.
- Capex for FY27 is guided at ₹3,500 crore, including ₹3,000 crore for the 7 MTPA expansion.
- Paint business expected to breakeven in FY27 once revenue crosses ₹500 crore with higher gross margins.
- Incentives are expected to recover to ₹75 crore per quarter by the end of FY27 as new units become eligible.
Risks flagged
- Multiple capacity additions in north India could lead to pricing pressure, though management expects only temporary impact.
- The new labor code liability of ₹48 crore was booked as exceptional; recurring impact could be ₹3-4 crore per month, but management is still assessing.
- Incentives dropped to ₹60 crore in Q3 from ₹86 crore in Q2 due to GST rate cut, and run rate may remain low until new units qualify.
- Discussions with government for Toshali limestone are ongoing but no timeline for resolution; could impact future expansion plans.
Key quotes
- The March quarter I think it could be one of the best quarters what we have ever seen.
- We are confident that all the remaining work of the project at Panna like OLBC etc would also get commissioned within February and by end of February the entire work would be completed.
- Our journey for 50 million... I don't think so many headwinds coming against that we should be able we should be on track for that.
