From Shree Cement Ltd's Q3 FY26 earnings-call transcript · updated 23 Aug 2026.

Revenue & Sales Performance

Industry growth expected to be around 7.5% to 8% in FY '26-'27, in line with India's GDP growth of about 7.4% (Page 7).
Shree Cement plans to maintain growth largely in line with the industry, with potential to outperform once price gap with competitors narrows further (Pages 6, 7, 13).
Q4 run-rate volumes expected around 9 to 9.5 million tons, with overall flattish year-on-year volume growth likely for the current year (Pages 12, 13).
The company adopted a value-over-volume strategy, sacrificing volumes initially to improve realizations and EBITDA per ton; volumes constrained purposely to improve pricing (Pages 11, 13, 16).

Profitability & Margins

Shree Cement has prioritized value over volume, deliberately sacrificing volumes to improve pricing discipline, resulting in narrowed price gaps with competitors like UltraTech.
Capacity utilization is expected to improve with better pricing and increased demand, especially from government infrastructure spending in Q4 FY ’25-’26.
The company expects volume growth to resume, with 9-9.5 million tons in Q4 FY ’25-’26 and overall positive demand outlook for FY ’26-’27 (7.5%-8% demand growth linked with GDP).
Future capacity additions targeting 80 million tons by FY ’29 remain subject to demand visibility; expansion plans are cautious to avoid low utilization.
Profitability impacted by current strategy but expected to improve as prices converge with competitors and volumes increase.

Order Book & Pipeline

The transcript does not explicitly mention the current or expected order book or pending orders for Shree Cement Limited. However, from the discussion, we can infer some points related to demand and capacity: - Demand is influenced by government infrastructure projects and budget cycles (e.g., Q3 saw increased non-trade/infrastructure demand due to government spending). - Capacity expansion plans are cautious and depend on demand visibility; current capacity at 72 million tons expected by March 2026, with possible expansion to 80 million tons by FY'29. - No concrete work on new capacities is ongoing as of the call, implying no immediate new orderbook additions.
