India Cements reports Q1 net loss at Rs 132.90 cr
New Delhi, Jul 19 (PTI) India Cements Ltd (ICL), now part of the Aditya Birla Group, on Saturday reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 132.90 crore for the first quarter ended June 2025.
It had reported a net profit of Rs 58.47 crore a year ago, according to a BSE filing by ICL, now a subsidiary of UltraTech Cement.
Its revenue from operations was marginally down at Rs 1,024.74 crore in the June quarter of FY26. This was Rs 1,026.76 crore in the corresponding quarter of the last fiscal.
The total expenses of ICL declined 12.43 per cent to Rs 1,042.19 crore in the first quarter of FY26.
ICL's total income, which includes other income, in the June quarter was marginally down at Rs 1,033.85 crore.
UltraTech, the country's leading cement maker, acquired the promoter's stake in the South-based cement maker. Consequently, ICL became a subsidiary of UltraTech Cement, with effect from December 24, 2024.
'PAT before onetime exceptional items was a negative Rs 9.13 crore compared to negative Rs 182.21 crore over the same period last year," said an earnings statement by the company.
It has refinanced its debt, resulting in a significant reduction in finance costs to Rs 26.58 crore from Rs 82.36 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
According to ICL, it is 'deriving benefits of synergy" with its holding company, UltraTech, which will improve its efficiency.
It further added that its profitability is expected to improve further as the benefit of this capex programme starts flowing together with synergies from economies of scale, wider distribution network and stronger balance sheet.
On the outlook, ICL said, it 'is poised to grow stronger. Increasing government spending on infrastructure and the improvement in demand in housing markets will further boost the performance of the company". PTI KRH KRH BAL BAL

CoinDCX offers 25% bounty to recover stolen crypto in $44-mn hack
CoinDCX, one of India's leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has announced a recovery bounty program after suffering a security breach that led to the loss of approximately $44 million (around Rs 379 crore). The company is offering up to 25 per cent of the recovered funds as a reward to those who help retrieve the stolen crypto and assist in identifying and bringing the attackers to justice. If all lost assets are recovered, the bounty could reach a total value of $11 million (Rs 94.6 crore). In a statement, CoinDCX emphasised that the effort goes beyond just recovering funds — it's about uniting the Web3 community to stand against cybercrime. 'This is not just about us. This is about standing up for what's right, for the safety, transparency, and future of the entire Web3 ecosystem. It's a war against cybercrime,' the company said. Co-founder Neeraj Khandelwal highlighted that the breach was not only an attack on CoinDCX but on trust itself. 'When one of us is targeted, all of us are affected. CoinDCX is committed to using this incident as a turning point—to strengthen our defenses, reinforce transparency, and work with the best minds in the industry to make recovery real and replicable,' he said. He added that the company is actively working with an exchange partner to block and recover the stolen assets and is fully committed to the recovery effort. 'We will emerge from this stronger, together,' Khandelwal said. The company also issued a call to action, inviting ethical hackers, white-hat researchers, and partners across the ecosystem to join the fight against cybercrime.

Dodla Dairy Q1 net dips to ₹62.8 crore
Dodla Dairy's consolidated net profit declined marginally for the quarter ended June at ₹62.8 crore compared to the ₹65 crore a year earlier. The lower net profit came on more than 10% increase in the revenue from operations to nearly ₹1,007 crore (₹911.59 crore). It was the highest-ever revenue registered by the company and coincided with its highest-ever procurement of 18.7 LLPD. Managing Director Dodla Sunil Reddy said several factors influenced the performance. 'Our Indian operations were impacted due to a shorter summer, resulting in lower sales from summer related VAP products like curd, lassi and ice cream. On the African side, while the business increased in revenue terms, our margins fell due to the focus on capturing higher market share in Kenya with the operations of the new plant in that region,' he said. The impact of these factors became even more pronounced as the performance in the corresponding quarter last year was very strong in both markets across the product portfolio, he said. On Monday, the company's shares declined 7.57% to close at ₹1,337.35 each on the BSE.
