UltraTech Cement warns soaring packaging and fuel costs could hit FY27 growth plans

Costs from plastic bags and fuel are climbing fast

While the company cautions that these cost pressures could weigh on performance, it is still pushing capacity expansion and expects cement demand to stay supported by urbanisation and government infrastructure spending.
