Ambuja Cements clocks record quarterly revenue of Rs 10,915 crore in Jan-March

Ambuja Cements reports highest-ever quarterly revenue of Rs 10,915 crore, 9% YoY growth, record sales volume of 19.9 MT, and declares Rs 2 dividend.

"FY26 has been year of resilience for the Cement sector which has witnessed consolidation, GST 2.0 reforms on one side, while adverse weather conditions, global geo-political factors and state elections affected some or the other way. - Vinod Bahety"

Ahmedabad, May 4

Ambuja Cements Limited, part of the Adani Group portfolio, on Monday reported a robust financial performance for the quarter and financial year ended March 31, achieving its highest-ever quarterly revenue of Rs 10,915 crore and marking a 9 per cent year-on-year growth.

The cement major also recorded its highest-ever quarterly sales volume at 19.9 million tonnes, up 10 per cent compared to the same period previous fiscal year, according to its stock exchange filing.

Operating EBITDA for the quarter stood at Rs 1,464 crore, with a margin of 13.4 per cent, while EBITDA per million tonne was reported at Rs 735.

The company maintained its strong balance sheet position, remaining debt-free, and announced a dividend of Rs 2 per equity share.

Vinod Bahety, Whole Time Director and CEO, Ambuja Cements Limited, said, "FY26 has been year of resilience for the Cement sector which has witnessed consolidation, GST 2.0 reforms on one side, while adverse weather conditions, global geo-political factors and state elections affected some or the other way."

"Against this backdrop, Ambuja Cements delivered a resilient performance for the year," he added.

During the quarter, Ambuja Cements completed the amalgamation of Sanghi and Penna Cement businesses, with Sanghi Cement getting delisted from stock exchanges effective April 6, 2026.

Meanwhile, ACC and Orient Cement have filed applications with stock exchanges and are awaiting regulatory approvals.

On the operational front, the company commissioned a 3 MTPA clinker line at Jodhpur and initiated trial runs for a 1.2 MTPA grinding unit at Dahej.

Its focus on sustainability also strengthened, with the share of green power rising to 32 per cent in Q4 from 26 per cent a year ago, as per its regulatory filing.

However, the quarter was not without challenges. The company flagged cost pressures arising from fuel prices, diesel costs, packaging constraints, and rupee depreciation, largely driven by the ongoing West Asia conflict.

These pressures are expected to persist into the first half of FY27. In response, Ambuja is intensifying cost-control measures, including optimising fuel mix, increasing renewable energy usage, and improving logistics efficiency through rail and sea transport.

Ambuja's financial strength remained intact, with a net worth of Rs 71,846 crore and cash reserves of Rs 1,770 crore, backed by top-tier AAA/A1+ credit ratings from CRISIL and CARE.

"We remain focused on stabilising new capacities, strengthening operating efficiency and improving asset utilisation, supported by a debt‑free balance sheet, strong liquidity and the highest credit ratings," Bahety stated.

Impressive numbers—19.9 million tonnes sales is no small feat! The focus on green power (32% now) and rail/sea logistics shows they're thinking long-term. But I hope the Adani Group ensures fair wages for workers at all these new capacities, not just shareholders getting Rs 2 dividend.

Record revenue, but margins are only 13.4%. That's decent, not great. With fuel costs and rupee depreciation ahead, they need to tighten belts. Interestingly, the West Asia conflict is hitting us—shows how global events affect even our cement sector. Hopefully the Jodhpur clinker line helps!

As someone whose family is building a home, I'm happy to see domestic cement companies growing! But I wish they'd mention how these profits translate to affordable cement prices for common people. The dividend is good for investors, but 'aam aadmi' needs low construction costs too. 🏡

Debt-free with AAA rating is a big achievement! The amalgamation of Sanghi and Penna shows consolidation is real. But I hope regulatory approvals for ACC and Orient come fast—delays hurt efficiency. Green power rising to 32% is good, but can they target 50%? Climate change is real, yaar. 🌱

FY26 was a 'year of resilience' indeed—elections, weather, global tensions. Ambuja navigating all this while growing revenue by 9% is commendable. CEO Vahety's focus on stabilising new capacities makes sense. But I worry about those 'cost pressures'—fuel and diesel hikes never help
