What went well
- Robust volume growth of 9% on a Y-o-Y basis, despite market-specific challenges due to state elections.
- Share of premium products in the portfolio increased to a healthy 25%.
- EBITDA per ton improved sequentially to INR1,055, driven by disciplined pricing and decisive cost management.
What to watch
- Absolute EBITDA declined 11% Q-o-Q to INR805 crores, offset by lower volumes and higher costs.
- Elevated input costs, with raw material cost per ton increasing 12% Q-o-Q to INR823 and power and fuel cost per ton increasing 10% Y-o-Y to INR1,045.
