The Aditya Birla Group company incurred expenses of Rs 1,042 crore in the quarter under review versus Rs 1,313 crore in Q4FY25 and Rs 1,190 crore in Q1FY25. The expenses were made under the heads including 'Cost of Materials consumed', freight & forwarding expense and power & fuel, among other things.
The company achieved domestic sales volume of 2.18 MnT, up 11.6% YoY. The average capacity utilisation stood at 61% for the quarter.
The Cement Realisations (net of logistics cost) improved by 5.7% QoQ.
The company recorded total Ebitda/Mt of Rs 424, which improved significantly from Rs 88/Mt in Q4FY25.
The average interest rate for Q1FY26 stood at 6.83%, declining by 110 bps QoQ.
On a standalone basis, India Cements reported a net loss of Rs 14 crore in Q1FY26, narrowing from a loss of Rs 76 crore in Q4FY25 and compared to a net profit of Rs 57 crore in the year-ago period. Revenue rose 5.5% year-on-year to Rs 1,025 crore from Rs 972 crore.
During the quarter under review, the company approved the sale of its entire equity stake in its subsidiary, Industrial Chemicals & Monomers Ltd (ICML), for a total consideration of Rs 97.68 crore. As a result, the investment in ICML, previously carried at a cost of Rs 0.36 crore, has been reclassified as held for sale. The gain from this transaction will be recognised upon its completion, the company filing said.
The company's step-down subsidiary, PT Adcoal Energindo, Indonesia, approved the sale of its entire stake in PT Mitra Setia Tanah Bumbu, Indonesia, an associate entity, on July 3, 2025. The impact, if any, on the carrying value of the investment in the foreign subsidiary will be evaluated for impairment once the transaction is completed.
The exceptional items for the quarter include two key impairments. First, an impairment of Rs 47.53 crore was recognised upon the consolidation of the subsidiary ICML, which has been classified as held for sale. This amount reflects the difference between the carrying value of ICML's net assets and their fair value less costs to sell. Second, an impairment of Rs 76.24 crore was recorded in relation to the proposed sale of a stake in MSTB, representing the gap between the carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) and its fair value less costs to sell.

Unclaimed deposits with banks stood at over Rs 52,174 crore in FY24: Minister

New Delhi: The government on Tuesday revealed that unclaimed deposits with public sector banks (PSBs) and private sector banks (PVBs) rose to more than Rs 52,174 crore in three fiscals (2022-2024) -- from Rs 42,271 crore in FY23. The share of unclaimed deposits with the PSBs was Rs 45,140.78 crore, and for PVBs, it was Rs 7,033.82 crore in FY24, which were transferred to the Depositor Education and Awareness (DEA) fund maintained by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), said Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary told the Rajya Sabha in a written reply. The amount of the unclaimed funds lying with the insurance companies in three fiscals from 2022-2024 was Rs 21,718 crore, he added. As per the details of the fund disclosed in the RBI's Annual Report, the total unclaimed deposits (till March 31, 2024) were Rs 78,212.53 crore. The RBI has launched the Centralised Web Portal UDGAM (Unclaimed Deposits-Gateway to Access Information) for the public. The said portal facilitates the registered users to search unclaimed deposits/amounts across multiple banks at one place in a centralised manner. The Depositor Education and Awareness Fund Scheme, 2014, issued by the RBI, governs the norms related to unclaimed deposits and outlines details of utilisation of the fund, including inter alia, promotion of depositors' interests and other purposes as may be specified by the RBI. Balances in savings and current accounts that remain inoperative for ten years, or term deposits not claimed within ten years from the date of maturity, are classified as Unclaimed Deposits and subsequently transferred by banks to the DEA fund maintained by the central Bank. As per the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDAI), all insurers who have unclaimed amounts of policyholders for a period of more than 10 years are required to transfer the same with interest to the Senior Citizens' Welfare Fund (SCWF) every year. Further, even after transfer of the unclaimed amounts to the SCWF, the policyholders/ claimant continues to be eligible to claim the amounts due under their respective policies for a period of up to 25 years. The SCWF is utilised for such schemes for the promotion of the welfare of the senior citizens in line with the National Policy on Older Persons and the National Policy on Senior Citizens, the minister said.

Total expenses dropped 31% YoY to Rs 1,053 crore, offering strong operating leverage. The share of profit from associates also grew 23% YoY to Rs 30 crore.
