JK Lakshmi Cement said that company's steep growth in production and sales along with its relentless efforts to improve efficiency and cutting its operating cost has enabled the company to post profitability of Rs 30.51 crore at profit before tax (PBT) level in Q4 March 2016 after witnessing losses in the previous three quarters. The net profit spurted with the recognition of deferred tax asset in Q4 March 2016. However, the company said that its profitability was affected due to the additional burden of interest and depreciation with the commissioning of the first phase of the greenfield plant at Durg, besides lower prices.
