Dalmia Bharat Flags Kiln Breakdown That Hit Eastern Cement Sales

An update from Dalmia Bharat Ltd. ( (IN:DALBHARAT) ) is now available.

Dalmia Bharat Limited reported an operational disruption following a sudden breakdown of one of its three kilns at Rajgangpur, Odisha, on March 13, 2026, which supplies a major share of clinker to its grinding units in Odisha, West Bengal and Jharkhand. After repairs and maintenance, the kiln was relit and clinker output resumed on March 27, with operations now stabilised and clinker dispatches returning to normal.

The 14-day outage, compounded by already low inventory levels, led to an estimated loss of about 2.5 to 3.0 lakh tonnes of cement sales in the company’s key eastern markets during March 2026. While Dalmia Bharat does not consider this a material event under regulatory norms, it has voluntarily disclosed the impact, apologised to channel partners for supply disruptions during a peak demand period, and said it is taking steps to normalise supply chains quickly, signalling a short-term volume hit but limited long-term operational implications.
