Star Cement projects 10-12% volume growth driven by capacity expansion and market focus

Star Cement Limited’s Q1 FY27 earnings call reveals a targeted 10-12% volume increase, highlighting strategic capacity expansion and a focus on maintaining premium pricing amidst ongoing growth initiatives.

Star Cement Limited opened its first-quarter FY27 earnings call on August 10 with Managing Director and Chief Executive Tushar Bhajanka and Chief Financial Officer Manoj Agarwal speaking to analysts on a conference hosted by ICICI Securities. The session was framed as a standard post-results update, with the company using the call to outline its performance, strategy and near-term outlook.

In related commentary ahead of the call, the company has indicated that it expects volume growth of 10% to 12% in FY27. That target builds on FY26 volumes of about 5.3 million tonnes, according to an analysis by Arthneeti, and reflects Star Cement’s emphasis on expanding capacity while trying to preserve premium pricing in its core markets.

The broader backdrop is a company that has used recent earnings calls to stress execution and expansion. Earlier transcripts from FY26 and FY25 show management repeatedly discussing market conditions, strategic initiatives and the outlook for demand, suggesting that this latest call is part of a longer-running effort to reassure investors that growth will be supported by capital spending and operational discipline.
