Nuvoco Vistas posts strong Q3 performance, premium push and expansion plans drive growth

Nuvoco Vistas Corp has delivered a strong operational and financial performance in the quarter ended December 31, 2025, reinforcing its position as one of India’s leading cement manufacturers. The performance was supported by steady demand, record quarterly volumes and sustained traction in premium products, despite a challenging macroeconomic environment.

During the third quarter, Nuvoco achieved its highest-ever cement sales of about five million tonnes, marking a year-on-year growth of around seven percent. The company said the consistent volume growth reflects improved market reach, strong brand recall and better product mix across key regions. Premium and value-added products continued to drive margins, with the premiumisation rate holding at a historic high of 44 percent for the second consecutive quarter.

Nuvoco’s flagship brands, including Nuvoco Concreto and Duraguard, recorded higher acceptance across infrastructure, real estate and individual home builder segments. The company also strengthened its premium portfolio with the launch of Concreto Tri Shield, a specialised concrete solution designed to offer enhanced durability and a longer product lifespan. Management said the focus on innovation and differentiated offerings is helping the company build long-term customer loyalty.

On the capacity front, Nuvoco is progressing steadily with its strategic expansion plans. The company is advancing capacity additions in eastern India while continuing development work at the Vadraj Cement facilities. The clinker and grinding units at Vadraj are expected to be operational from the third quarter of FY27. Once commissioned, these additions will take Nuvoco’s total cement capacity to around 35 million tonnes per annum, consolidating its position as the fifth-largest cement group in the country.

Despite input cost pressures and broader economic uncertainties, the company said disciplined execution, cost optimisation and premium-led growth have supported performance during the quarter. Nuvoco remains focused on improving operational efficiencies, expanding its premium footprint and strengthening its distribution network.

Looking ahead, the company expects demand from housing, infrastructure and commercial construction to support growth, while ongoing capacity expansion and premiumisation initiatives are likely to provide further momentum in the coming quarters. Management reiterated its commitment to sustainable growth, responsible manufacturing practices, and consistent value creation for stakeholders nationwide long-term
