Cement Demand Rises in Q3FY26

Cement companies in India are expected to see a big increase in sales in the third quarter of 2026.

The demand for cement is projected to grow by 11% compared to the same period last year.

This growth is mainly due to more construction activities and a focus on affordable housing.

Rural areas are expected to see more demand than cities, thanks to good monsoon conditions and steady income growth.

The government's spending on infrastructure is also helping to keep the demand for cement strong.

Despite some pricing pressure, cement companies are expected to report better profits due to higher sales volume and lower input costs.

Overall, the cement sector is looking positive, with volume growth being the main driver of revenue, even though prices might stay competitive.
