UltraTech lists monsoon impact, West Asia crisis as headwinds during Q2

UltraTech performed well despite headwinds on account of a monsoon-affected quarter and the ongoing west Asia crisis, the company said in an exchange filing. It noted that domestic grey cement sales volumes rose nearly 14% to 35.94 million tonnes, from 31.58 million tonnes in Q2 FY26, supported by disciplined execution, a wider market footprint, cost optimisation and a sharper focus on premium products.

Capacity utilisation jumped to 71% from 66% over the same period last year, it further said, adding that higher volumes and improved profitability strengthened UltraTech’s position in the market.

UltraTech on UltraVolt launch

The overall planned capacity, entailing the consumption of 78,000 mt of copper and 24,000 mt of Aluminium, already positions the company as the second largest player in terms of capacity in the housing wires segment,” it said.

UltraVolt’s launch has received an overwhelming market response, the cement major said. The brand has garnered strong endorsement from retailers, electricians and industry influencers for its quality, safety and performance-focused product portfolio, it claimed.
