Total expenses for JKCL were recorded at ₹1,263.01 crore, which marked a slight reduction of 1.27% in the September quarter of FY25. This slight decrease in expenses was not enough to offset the drop in revenue and profitability.

The total income, which includes other income sources, fell 2.17% to ₹1,242.67 crore for the reported period. The company faced pressure from a declining cement price environment that impacted the broader cement industry’s sales realisation year-on-year.

Sales volume for the quarter saw a 1.40% dip, reaching 18.66 lakh tonnes. This decline reflects industry-wide challenges in maintaining stable prices and demand, with the cement sector affected by broader economic trends and reduced market realisation.

Despite the current financial challenges, JK Lakshmi Cement remains optimistic about the future. The company looks forward to government infrastructure investments, which are expected to bolster demand in the sector, potentially improving profitability and growth in the coming quarters.
