Birla Corporation reported a strong Q4 FY25, with consolidated net profit rising 33% year-on-year to Rs 257 crore and revenue up 7% to Rs 2,863 crore, driven by an 8% jump in cement sales volumes and 105% capacity utilization. EBITDA per ton reached Rs 1,014, one of its highest in recent years. However, full-year FY25 net profit fell 30% to Rs 295 crore on weak cement pricing through the first eight months. The company also announced a major Rs 4,335 crore capex plan to scale capacity from 20 million tons to 27.6 million tons by FY28-29, including three new grinding units at Prayagraj, Gaya, and Aligarh. Net debt was reduced from Rs 3,003 crore to Rs 2,244 crore, and the cost of borrowing fell to 7.56%. The Board re-appointed Sandip Ghose as MD & CEO for three years effective January 2026.
The strong Q4 turnaround signals recovery in cement demand and pricing, which should support sentiment, though the full-year profit decline of 30% highlights ongoing industry headwinds. The Rs 4,335 crore capacity expansion plan and debt reduction are long-term positives that could drive future growth, while near-term capex outflows may pressure returns in the interim.
