Future growth expectations in earnings/operating earnings/profits/EPS?

FY '25 volume expected around 7 million tons, up from 5.6 million in FY '24, driven by ramp-up in Andhra and Jajpur plants. EBITDA guidance revised to around ₹310 crores for FY '25, down from earlier ₹400 crores estimate due to volume correction. EBITDA per ton expected to improve from current ₹610 per ton to around ₹750 per ton in Q4 FY '24 due to ₹150 per ton savings on fuel costs and operational efficiencies. Price outlook is flat/flattish for FY '25; cost savings and volume growth seen as key EBITDA drivers rather than price increases. CapEx of ₹150-155 crore planned for FY '25, ma

Revenue guidance

Category 3

- FY '24 volume guidance has been revised down from 6.2 million tons to 5.6 million tons due to slower-than-expected post-election demand ramp-up in Madhya Pradesh and Telangana. - For FY '25, the company expects volumes around 7 million tons, driven mainly by ramp-ups from Andhra Cements and Jajpur. - The volume growth in FY '25 factors in slower demand around national and state elections, with slower demand expected three months before and after elections. - The company is cautious about incremental volumes from existing assets due to new capacities coming up in the region by competitors. - Demand growth for the industry is expected to be 5-8% for the coming year, with markets likely able to absorb new capacity ramp-ups if players are rational. - The company anticipates around 0.9 to 1 million ton volume growth from Andhra Cements in FY '25. Overall, moderate but steady volume growth supported by new capacity ramp-ups is expected in FY '25.
