On the reaction day the stock moved 0.8 pts more than Nifty Midcap 150 and 1.8 pts more than its Cement & Cement Products peers, over the same two closes: a difference in percentage points, not a measure of what the filing did.
Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Q2 FY27 India sales rose 18% to 9.31 million tonnes and group volume rose 14% to 10.52 million tonnes. Selling price rose 1% to Rs 4,870 per tonne, lifting profit before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation by 4% to Rs 1,016 crore. Profit per tonne fell from Rs 1,055 to Rs 966 as fuel cost rose to Rs 2.09 from Rs 1.66. Q3 fuel cost is expected at Rs 2.15 to Rs 2.20; pricing should improve, with full-year sales of 40 to 41 million tonnes.
Volume growth supports earnings, but higher fuel costs may keep margins and near-term profit growth under pressure.
