Orient Cement Ltd posted a sharp jump in profitability for the third quarter of FY26, reporting a net profit of ₹27.8 crore—nearly 2.8 times higher than ₹10 crore recorded in the same quarter last year. The strong showing was driven primarily by higher operating earnings and improved margins.
While revenue for the quarter remained largely flat at ₹636 crore compared with ₹643 crore in Q3 FY25, operating performance strengthened significantly. EBITDA rose 54.5% year-on-year to ₹89.9 crore from ₹58.2 crore, pushing EBITDA margins up to 14.1% from 9% a year ago. The margin expansion reflects better cost management and operational efficiencies across the company’s manufacturing network.
Orient Cement currently operates three production facilities located in Telangana, Karnataka, and Maharashtra, with a distribution footprint spanning 10 states. The company serves both institutional and retail markets, supplying cement to key infrastructure and housing projects across regions.

The quarter also comes amid a major change in ownership. Following a successful open offer, the Adani Group now holds a 72.66% stake in Orient Cement. From June 18, 2025, the company officially became a subsidiary of Ambuja Cements, strengthening its position within one of India’s largest cement platforms.
Market reaction to the results remained muted. Shares of Orient Cement closed at ₹164.80 on BSE on January 29, edging up marginally by ₹0.10, or 0.061%.
