Saurashtra Cement reports Q1 consolidated revenue up 7.84% YoY to ₹456.75 Cr, driven by a 7.5% increase in the Cement segment and 14.1% in Paints.

Despite revenue growth, net profit declined sharply by 45.85% YoY to ₹9.13 Cr, with EPS at ₹0.82. Profitability was impacted by higher material costs and a significant rise in 'Stores and Repairs' expenses.

The Cement segment's pre-finance profit dipped 27.1% YoY, while the Paints segment continued to incur losses.

Overall, these results reflect weak financial momentum due to significant profit erosion despite revenue growth, primarily driven by elevated operational costs and continued losses in the Paints division.
