Dalmia Bharat reported a strong Q2 FY26 with revenue of ₹3,417 crore (+10.7% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹696 crore (+60% YoY), driven by better realizations and cost control. EBITDA margin expanded to 20.4% (vs 14.1% last year), with EBITDA per ton at ₹1,013 – the second consecutive quarter above ₹1,000. Volume growth was modest at 2.9% YoY due to heavy rains and GST transition disruption. Management expects H2 demand recovery on pent-up demand and policy support (GST cut, RBI rate cuts). The company maintained its cost leadership trajectory, with logistics costs down 3.8% YoY and renewable energy capacity on track to reach 576 MW by FY26-end. Capex guidance for FY26 was revised down to ₹3,000 crore due to favorable credit terms. Key risk: rising petcoke prices could pressure margins in H2.
डालमिया भारत ने वित्त वर्ष 2026 की दूसरी तिमाही में मजबूत प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी की कमाई 3,417 करोड़ रुपये रही, जो पिछले साल से 10.7% ज्यादा है। मुनाफा (EBITDA) 696 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जो 60% बढ़ा। इसकी वजह बेहतर कीमतें और खर्च पर काबू है। मुनाफे की दर 20.4% हो गई, जो पिछले साल 14.1% थी। हर टन सीमेंट पर मुनाफा 1,013 रुपये रहा, जो लगातार दूसरी तिमाही 1,000 से ऊपर है। बिक्री में सिर्फ 2.9% का इजाफा हुआ, क्योंकि भारी बारिश और जीएसटी बदलाव से परेशानी हुई। कंपनी को उम्मीद है कि सरकारी मदद और ब्याज दरों में कटौती से दूसरी छमाही में मांग बढ़ेगी। लागत कम रखने में कामयाबी मिली, परिवहन खर्च 3.8% घटा। अक्षय ऊर्जा क्षमता 576 मेगावाट तक पहुंचने की योजना है। निवेश का अनुमान घटाकर 3,000 करोड़ रुपये किया गया। खतरा: पेटकोक की बढ़ती कीमतें मुनाफा कम कर सकती हैं।
