Impressive growth numbers! Crossing 100 MTPA is no small feat. The Adani Group seems to be making all the right moves with Ambuja. Excited to see how they'll achieve that 140 MTPA target by 2028! 💪

While the numbers look great, I hope they're also focusing on sustainable practices with all this expansion. The 299 MW RE power is a good start, but cement industry has a big carbon footprint. More transparency on environmental goals would be appreciated.

The Orient Cement acquisition seems to be paying off well. Smart strategic move to boost capacity. With ₹10,125 crore cash in hand, wonder what their next acquisition target will be? Any guesses?
