Going forward, the company expects cost inflation of around ₹150-200 per tonne in Q1FY27, largely because of higher fuel and packaging costs. Management has reduced FY27 capex guidance to around ₹1,500 crore from the earlier ₹3,000 crore plan, with spending focused on railway sidings, RMC expansion and the Meghalaya project. The company also plans to improve utilization levels before accelerating fresh capacity additions.
