Here are the major questions and their respective answers from the Q&A section of the earnings call transcript:
Question from Mr. Rahul Gupta (Morgan Stanley): "If we look at on a sequential basis, there is a sudden increase in power and fuel logistics and other opex. Can you help us understand in detail what's happening?"
Answer from Mr. Vinod Bahety (CEO): "I'm referring to consolidated financials. Overall, power and fuel costs are down year-on-year. The increase in costs is mainly due to acquiring Orient. The fuel cost decreased from Rs.1.73 to Rs.1.59 per 1000 kilocalories. We expect power costs to normalize soon. The increase in other expenses is associated with marketing investments and integration costs from Orient."
Question from Mr. Atishy Rathi (J.P. Morgan): "I see discrepancies in volume numbers; how should I reconcile them?"
Answer from Mr. Vinod Bahety (CEO): "The reported volume reflects cement sales, not clinker, aligning with industry norms. We aim to provide clarity on purely cement sales for accurate comparisons moving forward. The consolidation of Orient resulted in a volume of 18.4 million tonnes for this quarter."
Question from Mr. Harsh Mittal (MK Global): "If I exclude Orient and Penna, our volume growth stands at 1-1.5%. Is this correct?"
Answer from Mr. Vinod Bahety (CEO): "No, that isn't accurate. Adjusting for acquisitions shows a healthy volume growth of 13%. We achieved 78% capacity utilization, reflecting strong performance even post-acquisition."
Question from Mr. Amit Murarka (Axis Capital): "Could you clarify the updated timelines for capacity commissioning?"
Answer from Mr. Vinod Bahety (CEO): "We expect to achieve 118 million tonnes by March 2026, with key expansions commissioned by year-end. Timelines are on track, and December will see multiple capacities operational."
Question from Mr. Naveen Sahadev (ICICI Securities): "What is the expected cash outflow for Penna, and when will its clinker production come online?"
Answer from Mr. Vinod Bahety (CEO): "Clinker from Penna should come by end of September. Our cash balance is currently about Rs.3,000 crores post-acquisition and capex expenditures."
