JK Cement reported Q1 FY27 consolidated net profit of ₹274.62 crore, down 15.3% year-on-year from ₹324.25 crore. Revenue from operations rose 20.25% to ₹4,031.72 crore, driven by higher cement volumes from its 6 MTPA expansion ramp-up. However, EBITDA margin contracted to 16.07% from 20.51% due to higher pet coke prices, diesel costs, and elevated maintenance spending. Net debt rose to ₹3,864 crore from ₹3,370 crore in March 2026. The company faces near-term margin pressure but maintains strong volume growth trajectory.
