India: Dalmia Bharat’s income rose by 7% year-on-year to US$1.36bn in the year to 31 March 2019 from US$1.26bn in the same period in 2018. Its cement sales volumes grew by 10% to 18.7Mt from 17Mt. However, its earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) fell by 5% to US$278m from US$292m. The cement producer blamed mounting slag and petcoke costs for the growing production costs although it noted that the prices had started to ‘soften’ in the most recent quarter.
