The firm's aggressive capacity expansion, including acquisitions, contributed to its increase in revenue, while a focus on infrastructure and demand drive future growth.

Leading cement manufacturer UltraTech Cement Ltd announced a consolidated net profit of Rs 2,474.79 crore for the March quarter, up from Rs 2,258.58 crore in the corresponding period last year. The company's revenue from operations reached Rs 23,063.32 crore during this fourth quarter.

The impressive financial results can be attributed to UltraTech's aggressive capacity expansion, both organically and through acquisitions, notably of South-based India Cements Ltd and UAE-based RAKWCT. The company's global cement capacity now stands at 188.76 MTPA, making it one of the leading entities worldwide in the cement industry.
