Nuvoco Vistas Q4 FY26 Results: Records Broken on Every Front

Q4 FY26 was a landmark quarter for the company across every key metric. Consolidated revenue surged 9% year-on-year to Rs 3,307 crore, while full-year revenue reached Rs 11,338 crore, up from Rs 10,357 crore in FY25. On the volume front, the company achieved an all-time high quarterly volume of 6 MMT in Q4 FY26, up 5% year-on-year. For the full year FY26, consolidated volume touched 20.4 MMT, again a record, growing 5% over FY25.

Profitability saw a sharp jump during the year. EBITDA for Q4 FY26 came in at Rs 590 crore, up 6% year-on-year and the highest ever for any single quarter. For the full year, EBITDA surged 35% to Rs 1,881 crore from Rs 1,391 crore in FY25. The improvement was driven by better cement pricing, a favourable product mix, and sustained operational efficiency across plants. Power and fuel expenses for Q4 FY26 stood at Rs 542 crore, while freight and forwarding charges came in at Rs 871 crore.

Nuvoco Vistas has demonstrated a volatile net profit trend, rebounding sharply in the latest fiscal year. For March 2026, the company reported a quarterly net profit of ₹141 crore, marking a robust 187.8% increase on a quarterly basis from ₹49 crore in December 2025. On a Year-over-Year (YoY) basis, this reflects a 15% decline compared to the ₹166 crore earned in the March 2025 quarter.

Looking at the full-year performance, the net profit surged to ₹360 crore in FY26, representing a massive 1,536% recovery from the ₹22 crore reported in FY25. This follows a profit of ₹147 crore in FY24. 

The company sustained an industry-leading premium product mix of 44% for two consecutive quarters in FY26, with the trade mix at 75% in Q4 FY26, flat year-on-year. For the full year, the premiumisation share expanded to 43% from 40% in FY25, with the trade mix improving by 100 basis points to 74%. Cement demand recovery from December 2025, supported by a pickup in Central and State government infrastructure spending — up 12% year-on-year in Q4 FY26 — aided volumes during the quarter.

Net debt as of March 2026 stood at Rs 4,445 crore. The company is on track to scale total cement capacity to 35 MMTPA, with the Vadraj Cement Plant commissioning scheduled between Q3 FY27 and Q1 FY28. Looking ahead, rising pet coke prices and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty remain near-term risks to margins, with the company flagging potential pressure on fuel and packaging costs going forward.
