Niraj Cement Reports 80.71% Profit Surge Amid Low Debt Levels

Niraj Cement Structurals, a microcap player in the capital goods sector, has recently reported impressive financial metrics that highlight its market position. The company has demonstrated robust growth, with net sales increasing at an annual rate of 35.14%. In the latest half-year results, the profit after tax surged to Rs 5.44 crore, reflecting a remarkable growth of 80.71%. Additionally, the profit before tax, excluding other income, reached Rs 4.66 crore, marking a 50.7% increase.
The company's return on capital employed (ROCE) stands at a notable 13.77%, indicating efficient use of capital.
