Ahmedabad, 28 July 2026: Ambuja Cements Limited, part of the diversified Adani
Portfolio and the world’s ninth largest cement company, delivered robust performance
for the first quarter ended 30 June 2026.
Mr. Vinod Bahety, Whole Time Director and CEO, Ambuja Cements Limited, said, “We
have started FY'27 with strong momentum, driven by our focus on value-led growth,
premiumisation and disciplined execution. Higher trade sales and an increased share
of premium products strengthened our market mix, resulting in improved profitability
and quality of earnings.
Despite temporary cost headwinds arising from the West Asia geopolitical tensions, we
delivered a sequential cost reduction of Rs. 206 PMT through operational excellence,
improved energy efficiency, a lower clinker factor and disciplined cost management.
This resulted in a 331 bps QoQ expansion in EBITDA margin to 16.7%.
Looking ahead, we are confident on continuing our momentum and improve our cost
structure further. We are well on track to increase our capacity to 119 MTPA by the end
of FY’27, with the commissioning of Dahej (1.2 MTPA), Salai Banwa (2.4 MTPA),
Bathinda (1.2 MTPA) Jodhpur (2 MTPA), Kalamboli (1 MTPA) and Warisaliganj (2.4
MTPA). We are firmly on course to deliver cost reduction of approximately Rs 250 PMT
to achieve targeted cost of Rs 4,250 PMT by end of FY’27.
At the same time, we continue to strengthen our leadership in sustainable construction
through innovation and our partnership with LEILAC, accelerating our low-carbon
transition and building capabilities that will support the next phase of growth."
