ACC Limited, part of the Adani Group’s diversified portfolio, has reported a significant 460 per cent year-on-year rise in its profit after tax (PAT) for the second quarter, reaching ₹1,119 crore. The company also achieved its highest-ever quarterly cement sales volume of 10 million tonnes, marking a 16 per cent growth compared to the same period last year.
Revenue for the quarter stood at ₹5,932 crore, reflecting a 28 per cent increase, the highest ever for any second quarter in the company’s history.
Vinod Bahety, Whole-Time Director and CEO of ACC Limited, said the cement sector demonstrated resilience despite challenges posed by prolonged monsoons. “This quarter has been instrumental for the cement sector. Despite the challenges from prolonged monsoons, the sector stands to benefit from several favourable developments including GST 2.0 reforms, the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS), and the withdrawal of coal cess,” he stated.
Bahety noted that these developments are expected to sustain strong demand momentum for the sector in the coming quarters. He also highlighted that the company’s ongoing projects, including the Salai Banwa and Kalamboli expansions, will add 3.4 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) capacity within the current financial year. Additionally, plant debottlenecking measures are expected to unlock an additional 5.6 MTPA, while logistics optimisations are aimed at improving utilisation levels.
The company’s net worth rose by ₹1,151 crore during the quarter, reaching ₹19,937 crore. ACC remains debt-free and continues to hold the highest credit ratings of Crisil AAA (Stable) and Crisil A1+.
According to Bahety, ACC is reaping the benefits of being part of the Adani Cement family under Ambuja Cements, which provides access to an integrated ecosystem spanning logistics, renewable energy, and innovation. “Ambuja’s strategic investments in this ecosystem are also helping ACC’s expansion, cost improvement, and transformation,” he said.
He added that Ambuja’s upcoming clinker capacity of 30 MTPA and 1,000 MW of renewable energy will also be available for ACC under a Master Supply Agreement (MSA), strengthening the company’s operational efficiency and sustainability efforts.
Bahety expressed optimism about the company’s outlook for the remainder of FY26, citing continued improvement in cost efficiency, product premiumization, and digitisation initiatives.
The company said recent GST reforms have led to reduced cement prices, helping attract new customers to its premium product range under Adani Cement.
Alongside its parent company, ACC is working toward achieving cost leadership and has set a target to bring down its cost to ₹3,650 per metric tonne (MT) by FY28.
