The company reported record financial performance for FY26 and Q4 FY26, with highest ever volumes and EBITDA. Positive updates on project commissioning and expansion plans also contribute to a positive sentiment, despite acknowledging near-term cost headwinds.
Nuvoco Vistas Corporation Limited has released the transcript of its Investor and Analyst Conference Call held on April 15, 2026, discussing the Audited Standalone and Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter and financial year ended March 31, 2026.
During the call, the company highlighted a record-breaking fiscal year 2026, achieving its highest ever annual performance with 20.4 million tons in volume and an EBITDA of ₹1,881 crore. The premiumization base expanded by 300 basis points year-on-year to 43%. The fourth quarter also marked a significant milestone, with volumes reaching 6 million tons and quarterly EBITDA hitting a historic high of ₹590 crore. This performance was supported by improved demand in Q4, driven by increased government capex, which saw a 12% rise in cement demand. Despite market challenges in Q2 and Q3, the company reported strong performance in FY26.
On the growth front, the Vadraj Cement project is on schedule, with clinker and grinding units planned for commissioning between Q3 FY27 and Q1 FY28. Updates were provided on project execution at Surat and Kutch facilities, with equipment deliveries, grid connections, and upgradation nearing completion. A new bulk cement terminal at Viramgam, Gujarat, with a capacity of 1.5 million tons per annum, is targeted for commissioning in FY28 to enhance distribution. The East expansion program, adding 4 million tons per annum capacity in phases through FY28, is also progressing well.
The company expressed confidence in the structural demand for cement, citing projected increases in central and state government capex for FY27 and strong housing sector allocations. However, Nuvoco remains mindful of near-term headwinds such as geopolitical uncertainty, rising fuel prices, currency volatility, and escalating raw material costs, particularly for packing materials. Proactive measures including prudent procurement and cost optimization are being implemented to mitigate these impacts.
Discussions also covered cost inflation, particularly in fuel and packaging materials. The company reported a blended fuel cost of ₹1.44 per million kcal in Q4 FY26, with an expected increase in Q1 FY27. Significant cost pressures were noted in packaging bags due to rising granule prices, leading to price increases implemented in both trade and non-trade channels across eastern and northern markets. Efforts are underway to reduce petcoke consumption by increasing the use of domestic coal and AFR (Alternative Fuel and Raw Material) to mitigate rising fuel costs. The company is also exploring options to supplement mineral gypsum with FGD gypsum to control gypsum usage costs.
Regarding pricing, Nuvoco has implemented price increases to offset cost inflation and is confident these will be sustained in the near term, especially given widespread cost increases across industries. The company is also focused on increasing its blended cement share and optimizing its product mix to improve margins.
