UltraTech Q2 net almost doubles, warns on costs

MUMBAI (Reuters) - UltraTech Cement, India's biggest cement producer, reported a near doubling of profit in the quarter to the end of September from a low base but warned of higher costs for materials, fuel and freight.

Demand for cement in India, the world's second-largest producer after China, is expected to rise about 8 percent during the fiscal year that ends in March, driven by a government push to expedite infrastructure projects to revive growth.

Sales growth across the sector has been slow this year as a result of sluggish homebuilding and construction in Asia's third-largest economy.

Margins of cement makers have come under pressure in recent months due to an increase in the cost of fuel and transport. Ultratech's variable costs rose 8 percent in the quarter from a year previously, the company said on Saturday.

In September, the government hiked diesel prices by 14 percent and that will have a further impact on cement producers.
