Dalmia Bharat Reports Record EBITDA of Rs 3,083 Cr in FY26; Annual Profit Surges 65%
New Delhi, April 29, 2026: Dalmia Bharat Limited, a leader in India’s cement manufacturing sector, announced its consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, headlined by a record-breaking EBITDA of Rs 3,083 cr. Despite a slight year-on-year dip in net profit for the final quarter, the company demonstrated robust annual growth, with full-year Profit After Tax (PAT) surging 65.5% to reach Rs 1,157 cr, compared to Rs 699 cr in the previous fiscal year, it said in a press release.
The company’s annual revenue from operations rose 5.9% to Rs 14,804 cr, supported by a total sales volume of 30.0 MnT. In the fourth quarter specifically, sales volume ticked up 3.0% to 8.8 MnT, generating a quarterly revenue of Rs 4,245 cr. While Q4 PAT saw a 10.3% decline to Rs 394 cr, the company’s operational efficiency remained strong, with Q4 EBITDA rising 13.7% to Rs 902 cr. This performance was bolstered by a significant improvement in EBITDA per tonne, which reached Rs 1,027 for the full year.
Reflecting on the milestone performance, Puneet Dalmia, Managing Director & CEO of Dalmia Bharat Limited, highlighted the company’s alignment with national development goals. “As the nation progresses toward the vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047, substantial investments in infrastructure will be essential, and Dalmia Bharat is proud to play a meaningful role in India’s growth journey. India continues to demonstrate resilience amidst the geo-economic uncertainties,” he stated.
He further noted, “During the year, we made significant progress on our strategic priorities and delivered highest ever EBITDA of Rs 3,083 Cr in FY26. Going ahead, I remain excited about the opportunities that lie before us. With ongoing investments, a strong balance sheet and a highly committed executive committee, Dalmia is well-positioned for an accelerated growth.”
The company’s financial health was further detailed by Dharmender Tuteja, Chief Financial Officer, who pointed toward improved market realizations and cost management. “During the quarter, our cement volumes improved by 3% YoY to 8.8 MnT. At the same time, we continue to improve on our quality of sales with improvement in trade share as well as premium mix. EBITDA saw a strong uptick to Rs 902 Cr in Q4, supported by a combination of improved realizations, continued cost optimization initiatives and higher volumes. The recent improvement in cement prices is expected to help offset cost pressures arising out of geo-political uncertainties. I am confident that our consistent focus on maximizing ROCE, coupled with strategic capacity expansion, will drive strong value creation for all our stakeholders,” Tuteja said.
On the regulatory front, the company reported a significant legal breakthrough regarding land parcels valued at Rs 344 cr previously attached by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). Following a challenge by Dalmia Bharat, the PMLA Tribunal reduced the alleged “Proceeds of Crime” by approximately 90% to Rs 93 cr, leading the ED to order the release of the attached land. While the land has been released, the company intends to challenge the remaining Rs 93 cr valuation.
Sustainability and shareholder value also remained central to the year-end report. The company increased its operational renewable energy capacity to 449 MW by commissioning new solar and Waste Heat Recovery Systems (WHRS) units during the quarter. Furthermore, the Board has recommended a final dividend of Rs 5 per share (250%). The company’s commitment to ESG was underscored by an improved Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) score of 70, alongside multiple industry awards for occupational health, safety, and human resource practices.
