flag Indian cement margins to rise 250–300 bps in 2025 on demand growth, stable costs, and lower energy prices.

flag Indian cement manufacturers are projected to see operating margins rise 250–300 basis points this fiscal year, driven by 6.5–7.5% demand growth, stable input costs, and higher realisations from volume gains and premiumisation. flag Average prices are expected to hold steady at Rs 354–359 per 50 kg bag, though a GST reduction may lower retail prices by 4–5% in the second half. flag Margins could expand to 18–20% from 16% as power and freight costs decline, supported by easing global energy prices.
