Nuvoco Vistas Corp. Ltd. earned its highest-ever profit before interest and tax (EBITDA) in the first quarter of FY26, making Rs 533 crore.

The company sold 5.1 million tonnes of cement, which is 6% more than the same time last year. Its total income also grew by 9% to Rs 2,873 crore.

Nuvoco also worked on reducing its debt. It brought down its net debt by Rs 884 crore, now standing at Rs 3,474 crore.

The company is currently the fifth largest cement maker in India. It became bigger after buying Vadraj Cement, and this will help increase its total production capacity to about 31 million tonnes by the third quarter of FY27.

This new purchase will also help Nuvoco grow more in Western and Northern India, adding to its strong position in the East.

Nuvoco is selling more of its premium (high-quality) products, which now make up 41% of trade sales. Also, 76% of its sales came from traders, the highest in 13 quarters. Top brands like Nuvoco Concreto and Duraguard helped drive this growth.

On the environment side, Nuvoco has been working to reduce pollution. It now emits 453.8 kg of carbon dioxide for every tonne of cement, which is less than last year’s 457 kg, showing its commitment to cleaner production.

Managing Director Jayakumar Krishnaswamy said, “We saw strong sales growth this quarter. By focusing on premium products and better trade strategies, we earned our best-ever first-quarter profit.”

Nuvoco started in 2014 with a plant in Rajasthan. Over the years, it bought Lafarge India, Emami Cement, and now Vadraj Cement, which was recently approved by the NCLT. This has made the company stronger and ready for more growth.
