Shree Cement, a leading player in India's cement industry, has declared a final dividend of ₹70 per share for FY26, in addition to an interim dividend of ₹80, resulting in a total dividend of ₹150 per share for the fiscal year. This represents a 36% increase from the ₹110 per share dividend paid in FY25. The announcement coincided with the company's Q4 FY26 results, where it reported a revenue of ₹6,101 crore, up from ₹5,532 crore in the same quarter last year, aided by an 11% growth in cement sales volume. The total sales volume, including clinker, rose 9.4% year-on-year. Despite a slight decrease in net profit to ₹1,292 crore from ₹1,330 crore in Q4 FY25, the company showed robust growth with a full-year revenue of ₹20,943 crore and net profit of ₹1,748 crore. Shree Cement is also expanding its ready-mix concrete (RMC) business, with plans to increase its operational plants from 26 to 36. The company’s total installed capacity now stands at 69.3 million tonnes per annum (MTPA), following the commissioning of new projects in Karnataka and upcoming expansions in Meghalaya. The outlook for the cement sector remains positive, driven by increased investments in infrastructure.
