Ambuja Cements Delivers Robust Q2 FY26 Performance

Ahmedabad, November 3, 2025: Ambuja Cements, part of the diversified Adani Portfolio and the 9th largest building materials solutions company globally, delivered a robust performance in Q2 FY26, A comprehensive focus on market share gains and R&D-led premium cement offerings has enabled differentiated performance both in volume growth and improved realizations.

Ambuja Cements Whole Time Director & CEO Vinod Bahety said: “This quarter has been noteworthy for the cement industry. Despite the headwinds from prolonged monsoons, the sector will benefit from the tailwinds of several favourable developments including GST 2.0 reforms, the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS), and the withdrawal of coal cess. Our capacity expansion is well timed to capitalise on this positive momentum. We have upped our FY28 target capacity by 15 MTPA from earlier 140 MTPA to now 155 MTPA. This increase of 15 MTPA from debottlenecking initiatives will come at a much lower capex of USD 48/MT. In addition, debottlenecking of plant logistics infrastructure will help in improving existing capacity (107 MTPA) utilisation by 3 per cent.

“We are also installing 13 blenders at our plants over a period of 12 months which will optimise mix and increase share of premium cement, in turn improving realisation. The leadership journey has resulted in a 5 per cent lower cost of sales YoY and enabled our existing assets to deliver a PMT EBITDA of ~INR 1,189 PMT, and an overall EBITDA of INR 1,060 PMT. Our outlook for the balance period of FY26 remains positive. We remain optimistic about delivering double digit revenue growth and four digits PMT EBITDA. Exit of FY26 we target to deliver total cost of INR 4,000 PMT, and further 5 per cent reduction YoY for the next two years, helping us to achieve the cost target of INR 3,650 PMT by FY28.

“Our Cement Intelligent Network Operations Centre (CiNOC) will enable a paradigm shift across business operations. AI will run deep into our enterprise fabric, bringing efficiency, productivity and deeper engagement with stakeholders across the value chain.”
