Cement giant ACC Limited, a part of the Adani Portfolio, revealed an exceptional performance for the quarter ending December 31 (Q3 FY26). The company witnessed a remarkable 346% surge in profit after tax (PAT) on a normalized basis, reaching Rs 380 crore year-on-year. Additionally, ACC achieved its highest-ever quarterly revenue of Rs 6,483 crore, marking a 22% increase.
Vinod Bahety, the Whole-Time Director and CEO of ACC Limited, expressed satisfaction with the company’s growth trajectory during the quarter. He highlighted the record-breaking quarterly volume of 11.3 million tonnes, a 15% rise compared to the previous year. Bahety attributed this success to increased trade and premium cement sales, as well as the continuous expansion in RMX, which contributed to enhanced realizations and a strengthened market position in core regions.
ACC Limited’s recent developments include the announcement of merging with Ambuja Cements Limited to establish a unified ‘One Cement Platform.’ This strategic move aims to expedite growth, enhance operational efficiency, optimize capital utilization, solidify industry leadership, and foster long-term value creation. The integration into the One Cement Platform is anticipated to drive efficiency and growth by leveraging synergies across procurement, manufacturing, and distribution post the completion of statutory approvals.
In response to the implementation of new Labour Codes effective from November 21, 2025, ACC Limited has accounted for an exceptional expense of Rs 50 crore towards additional Gratuity and Leave Encashment obligations. The company remains committed to cost leadership and aims to achieve Rs 3,650 per metric ton by FY28 under the One Cement Platform. Notably, the company informed that its cement grinding units at Salai Banwa (2.4 MTPA) and Kalamboli (1.0 MTPA) are progressing as scheduled for commissioning in Q4 FY26.
ACC Limited continues to witness success in the market, particularly with its premium portfolio led by ACC Gold, which consistently delivers superior EBITDA margins. The company anticipates maintaining realisation advantages through the growing share of Trade and Premium segments. Bahety expressed gratitude towards customers, dealers, retailers, and influencers, emphasizing their crucial role in the success of the Adani Cement Parivar. Moreover, ACC’s concrete business footprint expanded with the addition of 14 plants year-on-year, totaling 117 plants across 45 cities.
