JK Lakshmi Cement’s management targets 10% volume growth in FY ’26, above the industry’s ~6.5%. Q4 saw a 7% QoQ price rise on better geographic mix and pricing, with premium cement making up 25% of sales. Non-cement revenue stood at Rs. 151 Cr; fuel costs steady at Rs. 1.53/kg cal; green power use hits 50%.

Cash stands strong at Rs. 1,150 Cr. Expansion to 30 mtpa by FY ’30 remains a key goal. Tone is cautiously optimistic, emphasizing volume growth and cost control.
