PL Capital's latest report indicates that India's cement sector is poised for robust performance in Q4 FY26, with projected revenue growth of approximately 14% quarter-on-quarter and 8% year-on-year. This growth is attributed to a resurgence in construction activity following winter, along with an uptick in rural demand and ongoing infrastructure projects. Despite facing challenges from rising input costs, the sector is expected to achieve an overall industry volume growth of about 7% year-on-year. The brokerage's analysis reveals that companies are likely to implement significant price increases starting in April to mitigate the impact of these costs, as demand remains strong and volume targets become more manageable. Channel checks show that while the East and Central regions are recovering gradually, the South and West are exhibiting particularly strong demand.
