Despite geopolitical headwinds impacting global markets, the company continues to focus on its 30 million tonnes capacity vision by 2030, supported by significant capital expenditure projects and a commitment to green energy and sustainable manufacturing practices.
Annual Financial Performance
JK Lakshmi Cement Ltd demonstrated resilient growth for the financial year ending March 31, 2026. The company reported a net profit of ₹430.34 crore for the full year. On a quarterly basis, the performance remained steady, with the company focusing on optimizing its integrated plant operations and split-location grinding units to maintain market competitiveness.
Strategic Corporate Developments
A key highlight of the year was the successful implementation of the Composite Scheme of Amalgamation and Arrangement, which became effective on July 31, 2025. This strategic move consolidated Udaipur Cement Works Ltd and two other wholly-owned subsidiaries into the company. Additionally, the company expanded its footprint by acquiring a 77.96% stake in NECEM Cement Limited in March 2026, further strengthening its production capacity.
Capital Expenditure and Future Outlook
The company is committed to aggressive expansion, with a ₹3,000 crore project underway to expand clinker capacity at its Durg plant by 2.3 million tonnes per annum, alongside four new grinding units. Furthermore, a ₹325 crore railway siding project is in development at the same site. Management remains focused on long-term sustainability, noting that the share of renewable green power in the company’s energy mix reached 46% during the final quarter.
Shareholder Dividend
Reflecting its strong operational cash flows and commitment to creating shareholder value, the Board of Directors has recommended a dividend of ₹6.50 per equity share (representing 130%) for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, subject to approval by the members at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.
