JK Lakshmi Cement Limited has announced its audited financial results for the quarter and financial year ended March 31, 2026. The company reported a net profit of ₹430.34 crore for the full financial year, demonstrating strong operational resilience. Additionally, the Board has recommended a dividend of ₹6.50 per equity share, reflecting a 130% payout, subject to approval by shareholders at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.
Financial Highlights for FY26
For the full financial year ending March 31, 2026, JK Lakshmi Cement achieved strong financial growth. The company reported net sales of ₹6,762.63 crore, up from ₹6,192.62 crore in the previous fiscal year. Profit before interest, depreciation, and tax (PBIDT) saw a significant increase to ₹1,127.90 crore compared to ₹918.27 crore in the prior year. The standalone net profit reached ₹430.34 crore, marking a healthy performance improvement over the ₹282.72 crore reported in FY25.
Strategic Business Developments
The company continues to advance its expansion strategy and operational efficiency. A major milestone was the effectiveness of the Composite Scheme of Amalgamation and Arrangement, which integrated subsidiaries including Udaipur Cement Works Ltd into the company, effective July 31, 2025. Additionally, the company has embarked on significant capital expenditure projects, including a ₹3,000 crore expansion plan to increase clinker and cement grinding capacity across Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Jharkhand, expected to be completed by March 2028.
Sustainability and Future Outlook
JK Lakshmi Cement remains committed to its green initiatives, currently implementing a project to enhance its Thermal Substitution Rate (TSR) from 4% to 16% at its Sirohi Cement Plant. Renewable power accounted for 46% of the company’s power mix during the quarter. Looking ahead, while the company anticipates some moderation in cement demand growth due to geopolitical factors and rupee depreciation, it maintains a long-term vision of reaching a total cement capacity of 30 million tonnes by 2030.
