Dalmia Bharat Kiln Breakdown Impacts Cement Sales by 2.5-3 Lakh Tons in March
Dalmia Bharat's Rajgangpur kiln broke down on March 13, 2026, impacting cement sales by 2.5-3 lakh tons in March. The kiln was relit on March 27, and operations are stabilizing. The company is working to normalize supply chains.
The breakdown caused a significant, though temporary, reduction in sales volumes, impacting key eastern markets. While operations are normalizing, the disruption during a peak demand period warrants a medium impact assessment.
The breakdown of a key kiln and the resulting impact on cement sales negatively affect the company's short-term performance.
Dalmia Bharat Limited has reported a breakdown in one of its three kilns at Rajgangpur, Odisha, on March 13, 2026. This kiln is crucial for supplying clinker to grinding units in Odisha, West Bengal, and Jharkhand. Following repairs, the kiln was successfully relit on March 27, 2026, and operations have since stabilized, with clinker dispatches returning to normal.
Due to the 14-day breakdown and pre-existing low inventory levels, cement sales in key eastern markets were impacted by approximately 2.5 to 3.0 lakh tons in March 2026. The company expressed regret for the supply disruptions to channel partners during this peak demand period and assured them that supply chains are being normalized.
Dalmia Bharat has voluntarily disclosed this event out of caution, although it does not qualify as a material event under SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015.
