Orient Cement Limited has announced a board meeting on August 7, 2025, to approve the financial results for the quarter and half-year.
The company reported a 12% decline in cement sales volume to 54.16 lakh tonnes and a 15% drop in total income to ₹2,708.83 crore for FY 2024-25. EBITDA fell 31% to ₹321.19 crore, and net profit declined 48% to ₹91.25 crore, impacted by subdued demand, election-related slowdowns, and pricing pressures.
Capacity utilisation stood at 64%. The company increased its share of premium products in trade sales to 25%. Operational efficiencies, renewable energy use (40%), and alternative fuel substitution (23% TSR) partially offset cost pressures.
Orient Cement is now part of Ambuja Cements (Adani Group), enhancing market reach and operational synergies.
The board recommends a final dividend of ₹0.50 per share.
