Time to dive into the latest operational updates from the Indian industrial landscape! ποΈ NCL Industries Limited (NSE: NCLIND) has just shared its production and dispatch figures for the first quarter ending June 30, 2025.
For those new to NCL Industries, this company is a key player in the construction materials segment, primarily known for its cement manufacturing. However, they also produce a range of other essential building products like cement particle boards, Ready Mix Concrete (RMC), and even pre-engineered doors, alongside a small hydro power venture. It’s a diverse portfolio, and these quarterly numbers give us a snapshot of how each segment performed.
So, how did Q1 FY26 stack up compared to the same period last year? It looks like a bit of a mixed bag, with some segments facing headwinds. Let’s break down the numbers:
S.No | Product | Quarter ended 30.06.2025 | Quarter ended 30.06.2024 | Growth (%) |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Cement Production (MT) | 6,34,256 | 6,69,016 | -5% |
2 | Cement Dispatches (MT) | 6,28,384 | 6,57,750 | -4% |
3 | Cement Boards Production (MT) | 17,432 | 21,048 | -17% |
4 | Cement Boards Dispatches (MT) | 11,159 | 18,832 | -41% |
5 | RMC Production & Sales (CuM) | 73,991 | 80,035 | -8% |
6 | Doors Production &Sales (Nos) | 1,610 | 6,537 | -75% |
7 | Energy (Hydro Power) (MU) | - | - | - |
Looking at their core business, Cement Production saw a slight dip of 5%, coming in at 6,34,256 Metric Tons (MT), with dispatches following a similar trend, down 4%. This indicates a modest slowdown in their primary segment compared to the previous year.
However, the picture changes quite a bit for other product lines. Cement Boards Production declined by 17%, and dispatches took an even steeper hit, falling 41%. Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) Production & Sales also saw an 8% decrease, measured in Cubic Meters (CuM). But the most significant drop was in the Doors Production & Sales segment, which plummeted by a staggering 75% to just 1,610 units compared to 6,537 units last year. This is quite a notable shift and definitely something to keep an eye on.
Interestingly, the Energy (Hydro Power) segment showed no reported production for either quarter, indicated by the dashes in the table.
These Q1 figures give us an early glimpse into NCL Industries’ operational performance for the current fiscal year. While cement, the backbone of their operations, showed a modest decline, the steeper drops in allied products like cement boards and particularly doors highlight areas for closer observation. As always, these operational insights are crucial for understanding the company’s trajectory in the dynamic construction sector. Stay tuned for more updates! π
