Risk intelligence
Material risks this quarter
high
Delayed turnaround of acquired assets
Sanghi and Penna plants have lower utilization (57%/46%) and required higher maintenance capex, delaying expected cost benefits.
Inability to pass on cost increases
Despite cost inflation, cement prices have only risen modestly (~₹10/bag) due to soft demand, limiting margin recovery.
Execution risk on capex projects
Previous project delays due to contractor issues and incomplete engineering; new projects may face similar timeline slippage.
