The cement maker’s fiscal fourth quarter net profit is expected to rise 7.8 percent year-on-year to Rs 589 crore, according to a Moneycontrol poll of five brokerage estimates. Revenue is likely to rise 3.7 percent year-on-year to Rs 4,964 crore.

New capacity helps Shree Cement sales
The commissioning of new manufacturing capacity has enabled Shree Cement to boost its production volumes, which analysts from Axis Securities estimate will rise by 5-7 percent year-over-year. This increase in volume is a primary contributor to the revenue growth.

Furthermore, despite a decrease in cement prices, particularly in the East and North markets, the volume growth has been sufficient to sustain a positive revenue trajectory.
On the profitability front, the easing of cost pressures has played a crucial role. Lower costs, combined with higher sales, are expected to enhance the company's EBITDA margins, contributing to the expected increase in profit after tax (PAT). Axis Securities notes that these reduced costs and increased operational efficiency are likely to boost the company's EBITDA by 26 percent year-over-year to Rs 1,133 crore.
