The company achieved its highest-ever quarterly EBITDA at ₹2,196 crore, a 53% increase, with margins improving by 3.8 percentage points to 19.1%. Operational efficiencies, increased trade volumes, and premium product offerings drove this growth.CEO Vinod Bahety attributed the performance to a sharpened focus on value-driven, customer-centric solutions and optimised operations. The NCLT-approved merger with Adani Cementation Ltd grants Ambuja access to 275 million tonnes of limestone and a new jetty for western India distribution. With a current capacity of 104.5 MTPA, the company aims to reach 140 MTPA by FY28, backed by renewable energy integration and cost optimisation. With cement demand expected to rise 7–8% in FY26, Ambuja is well-positioned for sustainable growth.
