Deccan Cements reported standalone revenue from operations of Rs 63,561.42 lakhs for FY2026, up 20.6% from Rs 52,697.72 lakhs in FY2025. Profit after tax surged to Rs 2,859.12 lakhs from Rs 753.30 lakhs, a ~280% increase, boosted by an exceptional item of Rs 1,284.07 lakhs from land disposal (Solipet village, Rangareddy district). Without this one-time gain, pre-tax profit would have been Rs 2,141.02 lakhs vs Rs 1,075.53 lakhs prior year — still strong underlying growth. Finance costs doubled to Rs 2,727.66 lakhs (from Rs 1,275.17 lakhs), reflecting higher debt levels. Operating cash flow turned positive at Rs 7,558.35 lakhs versus negative Rs 3,763.24 lakhs in FY2025. The statutory auditor issued an unmodified (clean) opinion. The board recommended a dividend of Rs 0.50 per share (10%) subject to shareholder approval. Appointment of Aruna Prasad & Co as cost auditors and M Bhaskara Rao & Co as internal auditors for FY2026-27 was also approved.
Revenue growth of over 20% and PAT jump are positive signals, but the exceptional item from land sale inflates earnings and should be factored out by investors. The clean audit and strong operating cash flow are reassuring, though rising finance costs warrant monitoring.
