Khemka said that cement companies have increased prices in the last few months because of a recovery in the demand space. 

"Our outlook on cement for 2023 is very positive. While on one hand there is demand recovery in the housing sector, on the other hand, the government is focusing a lot on spending on infrastructure. This is why the demand for cement in coming days will remain strong," he added.

Khemka said that JK Cement is increasing its capacity every year and it has plans to achieve the target of grey cement capacity in the coming years. 

"Buy JK Cement with one year target of Rs 3,840," Khemka added.

However, the standalone net profit of JK Cement declined by 26.07 per cent to Rs 124.8 crore. This is against Rs 168.8 crore in the year-ago period, the company said in a regulatory filing.
