JSW Cement reported a strong performance for the March quarter of FY26, with net profit rising sharply to ₹362 crore from ₹16 crore in the same period last year. The growth was supported by higher sales volumes, improved operating efficiency and better margins, although the year ago base was impacted by a non cash exceptional expense.

Operating EBITDA rose 46 percent to ₹365 crore from ₹250 crore, while operating EBITDA margin improved to 19.3 percent from 14.6 percent.

Cement sales volume grew 12 percent to 2.35 million tonnes, while ground granulated blast furnace slag volume rose 5 percent to 1.57 million tonnes.

The company said operating EBITDA per tonne stood at ₹916 during the quarter. Adjusted for foreign exchange losses, operating EBITDA was ₹378.4 crore, translating to ₹950 per tonne. Total EBITDA, including other income, stood at ₹385.6 crore.

For the full financial year FY26, JSW Cement’s revenue from operations grew 12 percent to ₹6,512 crore. Operating EBITDA increased 44 percent to ₹1,240 crore, with an operating EBITDA margin of 19 percent. Total sales volume for the year rose 11 percent to 13.96 million tonnes.
