Financial Performance
Revenue Growth by Segment
Consolidated revenue grew 10.5% YoY to INR 1,663 Cr in FY2025. The building products segment remains the primary revenue driver, while the textile segment faces pressure with subdued demand and drop in realisations. H1 FY2026 revenue was flat at INR 892 Cr compared to INR 893 Cr in H1 FY2025.
Geographic Revenue Split
India operations contribute approximately 79.5% of revenue, while Sri Lankan subsidiaries (Sri Ramco Lanka and Sri Ramco Roofings Lanka) contributed INR 182.71 Cr in H1 FY2026, representing ~20.5% of consolidated revenue.
Profitability Margins
PAT margin improved from 4.8% in FY2024 to 5.6% in FY2025. Operating margins are projected to remain stable at 10.5-11.0% for FY2026, driven by healthy performance in the building segment despite textile segment pressure.
EBITDA Margin
Operating profitability remained at ~11% in FY2025. Adjusted debt to EBITDA ratio improved to 1.31 times in FY2025 from 1.44 times in FY2024, reflecting better core profitability relative to debt levels.
Capital Expenditure
Planned capex of INR 185 Cr for a new 58,000 MTPA Fibre Cement Board plant in Maksi, Madhya Pradesh. Total medium-term capex is estimated at INR 200 Cr, funded by INR 135 Cr bank debt and internal accruals.

Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Key raw materials are asbestos fibre and cement. Asbestos fibre is a critical input for the FC sheet segment, which is the company's major profit contributor.
Import Sources
India imports 100% of its asbestos requirement. The company sources asbestos from major asbestos-producing nations such as Brazil and Russia.
Capacity Expansion
Planned expansion of 58,000 MTPA for Fibre Cement Boards at the Maksi, Madhya Pradesh plant, expected to commence operations in H2 FY2027.
Raw Material Costs
Margins are highly vulnerable to fluctuations in asbestos fibre and cement prices. The company has limited flexibility to pass on cost hikes due to intense competition in the FC sheet industry.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Average utilization of working capital bank limits was ~30% of drawing power during the 12 months through August 2025, indicating efficient liquidity management.
Logistics & Distribution
The company faces competition from established players with manufacturing units closer to high-growth markets in Northern and Eastern India, impacting distribution efficiency.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
10.50%
Growth Strategy
Growth is targeted through the INR 185 Cr expansion in the CSB segment in Madhya Pradesh to capture Northern and Eastern Indian markets. The company is also leveraging its strong financial flexibility from a ~INR 5,000 Cr investment portfolio in listed group companies to fund expansions and strategic share purchases.
Products & Services
Asbestos-based fibre cement (FC) sheets for roofing, Calcium Silicate Boards (CSB), and cotton yarn (textiles).
Brand Portfolio
Ramco Hilux, Ramco Hicem, Ramco Greencot.
New Products/Services
Expansion into the Calcium Silicate Board (CSB) segment with a new 58,000 MTPA plant to diversify the product mix.
Market Expansion
Targeting Northern and Eastern India through the new Maksi (MP) plant to compete with regional players.
Market Share & Ranking
Second-largest company in the Ramco Group after Ramco Cements Ltd.
Strategic Alliances
Part of the Ramco Group; holds a 23.08% stake in Ramco Cements Ltd and 19.07% in Ramco Systems Ltd as of March 2025.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The AC roofing industry remains the mainstay but faces long-term disruption risks from regulatory bans on asbestos and a consumer shift toward substitute steel products.
Competitive Landscape
Intense competition from established FC sheet manufacturers and substitute products like galvanized steel roofing.
Competitive Moat
Durable competitive advantage derived from exceptional financial flexibility provided by an unpledged INR 5,000 Cr investment portfolio in listed group entities, allowing for low-cost debt access.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to rural spending and agricultural income, which drive the demand for AC roofing sheets.
Consumer Behavior
Demand is primarily driven by rural housing and industrial roofing requirements.
Geopolitical Risks
Vulnerable to changes in mining policies or environmental regulations in asbestos-exporting countries.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Operations are subject to pollution control norms and international asbestos mining/usage regulations. India currently imports its entire asbestos requirement under existing trade norms.
Environmental Compliance
Exposed to regulatory risks regarding the manufacture and use of asbestos; any ban would necessitate a complete shift in the business model.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Potential for a total ban on asbestos usage (High impact), volatility in raw material prices (Moderate impact), and rural demand cyclicality (Moderate impact).
Geographic Concentration Risk
Significant revenue concentration in India and Sri Lanka (~20.5% revenue from Sri Lanka).
Third Party Dependencies
100% dependency on foreign suppliers for asbestos fibre raw material.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Risk of FC sheets being replaced by more environmentally friendly or durable roofing materials like steel or non-asbestos boards.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Strong liquidity with INR 84 Cr free cash and INR 386 Cr buffer in working capital limits as of Sept 2025 suggests low counterparty risk.
