Revenue from operations rose 18% to ₹1,205 crore. Cement sales increased 11% to 21.41 lakh tonnes. The company incurred a capex ₹397 crore.
Demand for individual housing declined marginally in the south, while infrastructure and commercial segments looked up. Lockdowns dampened demand in May and June.
