UltraTech Cement Q4 Results: Profit rises 20% YoY to Rs 2,983 crore; co declares Rs 240/share dividend

UltraTech Cement on Monday reported a 20% year-on-year (YoY) growth in its consolidated net profit at Rs 2,983 crore for the fourth quarter. The company’s board has recommended a dividend of Rs 240 per share for the year ended March 2026.

Revenue from operations in the January-March 2026 period increased 12% YoY to Rs 25,799 crore.

The company said the special dividend is anchored in a confluence of several milestones achieved in FY26, including consolidated PAT crossing the Rs 8,000 crore threshold for the first time in its history, domestic grey cement capacity surpassing the 200 MTPA mark, and operating cash flows growing 50% YoY to Rs 14,398 crore.

“These are not incremental achievements. They represent the full fruition of a decade of disciplined capital allocation, bold capacity-building, and the seamless integration of transformative acquisitions,” UltraTech said in an earnings release.

“The special dividend is the Board’s unambiguous signal to the capital markets and to shareholders who have trusted UltraTech through years of heavy investment. FY26 is the year that patience has been vindicated, and the reward must be commensurate with the moment,” it added.

The company further said that operating cash flow for FY26 comfortably supports both ongoing capital expenditure programmes and this dividend distribution, with no compromise to its financial stability or forward growth commitments.
