Kajaria Ceramics Ltd is India’s largest manufacturer of ceramic and vitrified tiles, with a strong presence in wall & floor tiles, bathware, and allied building materials. The company has built a trusted brand over four decades and operates multiple manufacturing units across Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Haryana. Despite its market leadership, recent financial performance shows a sharp decline in profitability amid rising input costs and subdued demand in the real estate sector. This article provides a balanced, fact-based outlook on Kajaria Ceramics’ fundamentals and offers realistic share price targets for each year from 2026 to 2030.
Given low ROE, profit contraction, and rich valuation, upside is limited unless earnings recover. Targets assume:
EPS recovery by FY27 as real estate demand improves
P/E compression from 58x to 35–40x over 3–4 years
Stable dividend policy (~45% payout)

Final Verdict
Kajaria Ceramics remains a quality business with structural advantages, but its current financial performance does not justify its premium valuation. The projected 2026–2030 price range (₹960–₹1,360) reflects cautious optimism—contingent on earnings recovery and sector tailwinds. Investors should consider accumulating only on significant dips with a 5-year horizon.
