Nuvoco Vistas Corp Q2 profit jumps 78% to Rs 65 crore on strong revenue

MUMBAI – Nuvoco Vistas Corp’s consolidated profit for the September quarter jumped 78% year-on-year to Rs 65 crore, aided by an over 13% growth in revenue to Rs 2,790 crore. The country’s fifth-largest producer of cement sold 4.7 million tonne of cement during the quarter, up 9% compared to the previous year.

“Q2 FY27 was a testament to resilient execution in a challenging operating environment,” managing director Jayakumar Krishnaswamy said. “Despite intense and erratic rainfall in our key markets, global and regional logistics & supply chain disruptions, and elevated input costs stemming from ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, the Company delivered strong YoY growth in Revenue, EBITDA, and PAT,” he was quoted in a statement.

Nuvoco said that it expects the demand for cement to pick up post monsoon, and that government-led capex, particularly by state governments, has significant headroom for growth in the second half of the year, considering that 77% of planned state outlays are yet to be deployed.
