‘Cost pressure as fuel, coal prices rise’
India Cements Ltd.’s standalone net profit for the second quarter ended September contracted 69% to ₹21.97 crore on the impact of the COVID second wave, lower net plant realisation rate, and higher input cost.
The second quarter results were to be seen in the backdrop of the COVID-led lockdown in the core markets of Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, and the unprecedented rains and floods in some States, said vice chairman and managing director N. Srinivasan,
Asserting that the second quarter also witnessed cost pressure by way of increasing fuel and coal prices, he said that all these were expected to put pressure on the output and earnings margins in the coming months.

The project’s most exceptional and breathtaking attribute lies in the Urban Forest, a lush oasis in the centre of the development. This green space will serve as a focal point, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the area. The upcoming metro station in Airport City will provide seamless connectivity to the business park from the northern side, ensuring convenient accessibility.
